verse:

D MajorD   Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
 If I ever  write my
D MajorD   Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Ode to Free-dom
D MajorD    Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD     A augmentedA
 It will be in prose that chimes with me
A7A7
 It would be a simple
E minorEm
 Ode to Freedom
A7A7             D MajorD    D augmentedDaug
 Not pretentious, but with dignity
D augmentedDaug            F#7F#7
I would like to think that freedom is
F#7F#7       B minorBm
More than just a word
Bm/ABm/A G+G     D MajorD   Dsus4Dsus4
In  grand and lofty language
    A augmentedA         D MajorD
Odes to Freedom often go unheard

verse:
D MajorD   Dsus4Dsus4   D MajorD
 If I ever wrote my
D MajorD   Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Ode to Free-dom
D MajorD   Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD    A augmentedA
 Being privileged and spoilt for choice
A7A7
 Then I fear that you would
E minorEm
 Be suspicious
A7A7             D MajorD       D augmentedDaug
 Of the cause to which I'd lend my voice
D augmentedDaug         F#7F#7
It's elusive and it's hard to hold
F#7F#7       B minorBm
It's a fleeting thing
Bm/ABm/A  G+G     D MajorD   Dsus4Dsus4
That's why there is no Ode to Freedom
A augmentedA          D MajorD
truly worth remembering
 G+G    D MajorD     Dsus4Dsus4
I wish someone would write an
D MajorD    A augmentedA             D MajorD
Ode to
Freedom that we all could sing
