I wish I could break all the chains holding me
  G    B       Em  G       C                      G
I wish I could say all the things that I should say
              B       Em
Say 'em loud, say 'em clear
        G
For the whole round world to hear

Remove all the bars that keep holding us apart
  G    B         Em   G       C            G
I wish you could know what it means to be me
               B    Em
Then you'd see and agree
           D             G    C#m G
That every man should be free

I wish I could give all I'm longing to give

  G    B       Em G       C                  G
I wish I could do all the things that I can do

I wish I could be like a bird in the sky

How sweet it would be if I found I could fly
       G    B      Em   G       C           G
Oh I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea
             B         Em
And I'd sing cause I'd know that
       D           G
How it feels to be free

        G    B         Em

How it feels to be free
