If I Were Free chords by Songs Of Praise

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


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

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

If I were free to speak my mind,

I'd tell a tale to all mankind.
           E                    A
Of how the flowers do bloom and fade,
          E     B           E
Of how we fought and how we gained.
