VERSE:
Bm          G                \ 
 My name is Chip              \ 
D             F#               \ 
 And I'm different              \(play rad riff during this part)
Bm          G                   /
 I don't conform               /
         D            F#      /
I wear a different uniform   /

G               C
 I'm out of the blue
B                C
 And so you are, too
D  Dsus        D         E            Cmaj7  G#  G
   Let me sing about one thing that's clear
            C
That nobody owns
B                C
 The pleasure of tones
D  Dsus         D        E       Cmaj7   G#
   That belongs to a guy with no ear

Bass plays: 
A--------------------------3-3-3-3---
E--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-0-0-0----------- 
       ^piano plays a G chord during this part

They tried to give me advice
Down at the record shop
I said sit down boys
This may come as a shock
What's all I listen to
It's all freedom rock

    C       G     C
How can you free me 
            G     C
How can you free me <--3x
         B D E            C  F# F
When I'm free? whoo whoo!
     B D E C (fill)  B D E C F# F
I am free


My name is Chip
And I'm different              
I don't conform               
I wear a different uniform   

I'm out of the blue
And so you are, too
Let me sing about one thing that's clear
