If I Were Free chords by Songs Of Praise

Chords with lyrics

verse 1
     BB        E MajorE
If I were free to speak my mind,
      A augmentedA       BB
I'd tell a tale to all mankind.
      E MajorE          A augmentedA
Of how the flowers do bloom and fade,
     E MajorE   BB      E MajorE
Of how we fought and how we gained.


verse 2
      BB         E MajorE
When all mankind has ceased to fight
       A augmentedA          BB
I'll raise my head in thanks each night.
        E MajorE        A augmentedA
For this great love and all it means,
      E MajorE  BB       E MajorE
For golden days and peaceful dreams.


verse 3
      BB         E MajorE
This weary world has had its fill
      A augmentedA      BB
Of words of war on ev'ry hill.
       E MajorE         A augmentedA
The time has come for peaceful days
       E MajorE BB       E MajorE
For peaceful men and peaceful ways.


verse 4
     BB        E MajorE
If I were free to speak my mind,
      A augmentedA       BB
I'd tell a tale to all mankind.
      E MajorE          A augmentedA
Of how the flowers do bloom and fade,
     E MajorE   BB      E MajorE
Of how we fought and how we gained.
