[Verse 1]
  A           F#m          D          A
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
  A            F#m            B             E
I wish I could break all the chains holding me
  A            F#m         D                     A
I wish I could say all the things that I should say
 A                    F#m       
Say 'em loud, say 'em clear
         E                   A
For the whole round world to hear

[Verse 2]
  A            F#m            D                 A    
I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart
 A             F#m         B        E
Remove all the bars that keep us apart
  A              F#m           D          A
I wish you could know what it means to be me
            A        F#m        E                   A
Then you'd see and agree that every man should be free

[Verse 3]
  A             F#m           D          A
I wish I could give all I'm longin' to give
   A            F#m           B           E
I wish I could live like I'm longin' to live
   A           F#m          D               A
I wish I could do all the things that I can do
            A       F#m         E         A
Though I'm way over due I'd be starting anew

[Verse 4]
   A           F#m         D          A 
I wish I could be like a bird in the sky
      A            F#m       B            E
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly
     A          F#m           D           A
I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea
A                    F#m         E           A
And I sing 'cause I know how it feels to be free
