  I picked this one out on piano.  It's kind of tough to do the descending

  baseline with a guitar, but it sounds really cool.

  D  D/C#  D/C  D/B  Bb6     C     E7sus E7

  

  D                D/C#            D/C       D/B           Bb6     

  Solemn faced the village settles down, undetected by the stones

          A                 A#dim

  And the hangman plays the mandolin before he goes to

  D D/C# D/C     D/B               Bb6 

  Sleep, and the last thing on his mind 

         A             A#dim    

  is the wild-eyed boy imprisoned 'neath the

  D                D/C# D/C          D/B            Bb6       

  covered wooden shaft,    folds the rope into it's bag.  

  A                 A#dim

  Blows his pipe of smolders,  blankets

  D              D/C#    D/C   D/B              Bb6                    

  smoke into the room, and the day will end for some.

  C      G                F        E7sus E7

  As the night begins for one.

  

  (Chords the same until they pick up again)

  Staring through the message in his eyes lies a solitary son 

  from the mountain called the freecloud where the

  eagle dare not fly, and the patience in his sigh

  gives no indication for the 

  townsmen to decide, so the village dreadful groans

  Pronouncing gross diversion as the 

  label for the dog.  Ooo it's the madness in his eyes

        C                   G                

  As he breaks the night to cry 

             D D/C# D/C       D/B            Bb6

  Its really me,       really you and really me

  A                A#dim        

  It's so hard for us to really 

  D D/C# D/C      D/B         Bb6

  be,      Really you, really me,

         A                  A#dim

  You'll lose me though I'm always really

  

  D  D/C#  D/C  D/B  C   C   C   C

  free.

  

          C                               C7

  And the mountain moved it's eyes to the world and realized

            Bb               Ab            C                  E7sus      E7

  Where the snow had saved a place for the wild-eyed boy from free cloud

  (Same chords)

  And the village dreadful cried as the moat began to rise

  For the smile stayed on the face of the wild-eyed boy from freecloud.

          G                             C

  And the women once proud clutched the heart of the crowd 

         G                              C

  as the boulders smashed down from the mountains hand.

          Am                        C

  And the magic in the stare of the wild-eyed boy said

  Am                C                   E7sus                E7

  "Stop Free Cloud, they won't think to cut me down, no, no, no!"

          F        C           F            C

  But the cottages fell like a playing card hell 

          Bb           F           C

  and the tears on the face of the wise boy

       F         C           F        C

  came trembling down to the rumbling ground 

          Bb         F         C

  and the missionary mystic of peace/love

  D                D/C#          D/C     D/B  Bb6

  Stumbled back to cry among the clouds

  A                A#sus            D          D/C#       C

  Kicking back the pebbles from the Free Cloud mountain's track.
