VERSE 1:
C G    B7     Em  G7       C    D9    G     
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
C G    C       G             D      A7      D7
I wish I could break all the chains holding me
C G    B7      Em  G7      C           D9               G   
I wish I could say all the things that I should like to say
Edim    G     B7      Em     Edim    C     D9sus4         G 
Say 'em loud, say 'em clear, for the whole round world to hear

VERSE 2:
C G    B7      Em    G7      C           D9    G  
I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart
C G    C       G          D    A7  D7
Remove all the parts that keep us apart
C G    B7        Em   G7      C     D9    G   
I wish you could know what it means to be me
Edim       G   B7    Em        Edim  C   D9sus4    G 
Then you'd see and a-gree that every man should be free

VERSE 3:
C G    B7      Em   G7      C   D9     G  
I wish I could give all I'm longin' to give
C G    C       G             D  A7      D7
I wish I could live like I'm longin' to live
C G    B7      Em G7      C           D9    G  
I wish I could do all the things that I can do
Edim       G   B7   Em  Edim   C   D9sus4 G 
Though I'm way over due I'd be startin' a-new

VERSE 4:
C G    B7      Em G7     C    D9     G  
I wish I could be like a bird in the sky
C   G     C        G       D     A7      D7
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly
C   G    B7     Em   G7       C    D9     G  
I'd soar to the song and look down at the scene
Edim     G    B7     Em
Then I'd sing 'cos I know, yeah 
         G    B7     Em    
Then I'd sing 'cos I know, yeah
         G    B7     Em        C    D9sus4 G 
Then I'd sing 'cos I know, I'd know how it feels

This allows you to "end" the song, otherwise repeat to fade with G B7 Em Em
