Song: Consequence Free 
Band: Great Big Sea (written by Alan Doyle and Séan McCann)
Tabbed by: John Seetch (jseetch@aol.com)

A great and easy up-tempo tune from the Turn CD.  
Most of the A's and B's are played as "barre-less" barre chords:

   E A D G B E
A* 0 7 7 6 0 0
B* 0 9 9 8 0 0

I haven't tabbed the guitar (lute?) interlude that is repeated in various 
places 
in the song.  If you get it, send it on to me!  As always, any mistakes found 
are
mine and mine alone.  Enjoy!

INTRO
                       C#m  B  A  B
NA NA-NA NA-NA NE-A NA NAA . . .
     E  B*    A*    B*      E   (guitar interlude)
HO-A NA NA-NA NA-NA NE-A NA NA . . .

VERSE 1
E              B*              A*       B* 
Wouldn't it be great if no one ever got offended
    E              B*                 A*             B* 
And wouldn't it be great to say what's really on your mind
E             B*             A*                 B* 
I have always said, "all the rules are made for bending"
     E          B*               A*             B* 
And if I let my hair down, would that be such a crime?

     CHORUS:
     A*      B*   E         C#m  
     I wanna be consequence free
     A*      B*       C#m               B*
     I wanna be where nothing needs to matter
     A*      B*   E         C#m
     I wanna be consequence free
               E  B*    A*    B*      E      E  B*    A*    B*
     just sing NA NA-NA NA-NA NE-A NA NAAA . . .
               E  B*    A*    B*      E      E  B*    A*    B*
       I said  NA NA-NA NA-NA NE-A NA NAAA . . .

VERSE 2
E              B*     A*               B* 
I could really use to lose my Catholic conscience
E               B*              A*             B* 
Cuz I'm getting sick of feeling guilty all the time
E              B*               A*              B* 
And I won't abuse it, Yeah I've got the best intentions
      E              B*         A*              B* 
For a little bit of anarchy but not the hurting kind

     CHORUS:
     A*      B*   E         C#m  
     I wanna be consequence free
     A*      B*       C#m               B*
     I wanna be where nothing needs to matter
     A*      B*   E         C#m
     I wanna be consequence free
               E  B*    A*    B*      E      E  B*    A*    B*
     just sing NA NA-NA NA-NA NE-A NA NAAA . . .
               E  B*    A*    B*      C#m             B
           Oh  NA NA-NA NA-NA NE-A NA NAAA . . .

BRIDGE
A           E                C#m               B
I couldn't sleep at all last night cause I had so much on my mind
A            E              C#m          B                  A
I'd like to leave it all behind, but you know it's not that easy
B
Ohhh, (whisper)for just one night

VERSE 3 
E (tacit)      B* (tacit)    A*(tacit)       B* (tacit)
Wouldn't it be great, if the band just never ended
E (tacit)         B* (tacit)        A*(tacit)  B* (back to strumming)
We could stay out late and we would never hear last call
E                   B*             A*           B* 
We wouldn't need to worry about approval or permission, we could
E                B*               A*              B*          B*
Slip off the edge      and never worry about the fall (worry about the fall)

If I had a mandolin I'd figure out the rest,
but I hope this is put to some use.
Thank you.
