Note:  the album version is up a half step.  The live version is in D.  Because of the open string, if you want to play it in Eb I suggest you use a capo.

Build up to D9 ...

Those are the three components to the intro, listen to a recording
for the matching up.  Below, you can substitute the C with a C9

   D9              C          (Third riff)
I'm floating in the blimp a lot

 D9               C9      (Third riff)
I feel the feeling I forgot

        (Third Riff)
Swimming weightless in the womb

        (Third Riff)
Bouncing gently round the room

In a minute I'll be free
And we'll be splashing in the sea

I feel no curiosity
I see the path ahead of me
In a minute I'll be free
And we'll be splashing in the sea
We hear a tiny cry
As the ship goes sliding by

Free!
Free!
Free!

For this part, on the album version, use this riff:

E------------------------6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-------------------------

 I'm floating in the    blimp a lot
 I feel                 the feeling I forgot
 I feel                 free

[repeat signature riff]

Free!
