The Flaming Lips
Be Free, A Way - Chords
The Terror

I play it with a capo on the 4th fret. If you don't have a capo, scroll down
to see the non-capo version.

From what I can tell, most of the actual song drones on one or two chords.
These chords are pretty much based on the vocal melody, but it still sounds
good if you play along with the album or by yourself. 

All chords relative to the capo on the 4th fret.

Verse 1 (0:11-0:37)

     G   Am  G    Am
     Did God make pain

     The high that no-thing is

Verse 2 (0:37-1:09)

Verse 3 (1:42-2:08)

     G  Am   G Am
     Is love a god
     G   Am  G  Am
     That we control

     To try to trust the pain

Verse 4 (2:08-2:40)

     G   Am  G      Am

     Its light lights eve-ry-thing the same

Chorus 2 (2:40-3:06)

     The days
