I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free chords by John Denver

A    C#7    F#m  A
And I wish I knew how
         D   E         A
It would feel to be free
A      D            A  D
I wish that I could break
E              B7      E
All the chains holding me
    A    C#7       F#m  A
And I wish I could say
  D            E                A
All the things that I'd like to say
A           C#7           F#m  A
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
        D           E        A
For the whole round world to hear

A      C#7     F#m  A
I wish I could share
D                   E         A
All the love that's in my heart
A      D     A  D       E     B7  E
Remove every doubt that keeps us apart
    A       C#7      F#m  A
And I wish you could know
        D    E        A
What it means to be me
             C#7     F#m
Then you'd see and agree
A     D   E         A
Every man should be free


A      C#7     F#m  A
I wish I could live
         D    E     A
Like I'm longin' to live
A           D       A  D
I wish that I could give
        E   B7     E
All I'm longin' to give
    A      C#7     F#m  A
And I wish I could do
        D          E            A
All the things that I'd like to do
               A        C#7     F#m
You know there still is quite a few
    A
Yes Sir...
        D       E    A
And I'm way way over due


A      C#7     F#m  A
I wish I could be
       D       E      A
like a bird up in the sky
A         D        A  D
How sweet it would be
     E         B7      E
If I found out I could fly
    A      C#7     F#m  A
I'd soar up to the sun
         D      E      A
And look down upon the sea
      A      C#7     F#m
And I sing because I know
A      D     E
How it feels to be
      A      C#7     F#m
And I sing because I know
A      D     E
How it feels to be
      A      C#7     F#m
And I sing because I know
A      D     E     A
How it feels to be free

A  C#7  F#m  A
             Yeah!
D  A  E
