  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 like to say


 A                    F#m
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
        E                    A
For the whole round world to hear


  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 parts that keep us apart
  A              F#m          D          A
I wish you could know what it means to be me


           A        F#m
Then you'd see and agree
           E             A
that every man should be free


  A           F#m          D          A
I wish I could give all I'm longing to give
  A            F#m            B             E
I wish I could live like I'm longing to live
  A            F#m        D          A
I wish I could do all the things that I can do


           A        F#m
Though I'm way over due
       E         A
I'd be starting anew


  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 song and look down at the scene


A                    F#m
Then I'd sing 'cos I know yeah
A                    F#m
Then I'd sing 'cos I know yeah
A                    F#m
Then I'd sing 'cos I know I'd know how it feels
