I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free

Written by Dick Dallas, William Eugene Taylor

	  		Introdução: E 
  
      A   A6     A7            D9  Dm6     A   E7 
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free; 
   A   A6      F#m            B7            E   E7 
I wish I could break all the chains holding me. 
   A   A6      A7            D9       Dm6        A   E7 
I wish I could say all the things that I should say 
         A    C#7      F#m  Bm       D9          Dm6      A 
Say 'em loud, say 'em clear for the whole round world to hear. 
E  A   A6       A7            D9         Dm6     A   E7 
I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart, 
    A   A6     F#m        B7            E   E7 
Remove all the bars that keep us apart. 
   A   A6         A7           D9   Dm6   A   E7 
I wish you could know what it means to be me 
            A  C#7   F#m      Bm     D9  Dm6       A 
Then you'd see and agree that every man should be free. 
E  A   A6       A7          D9     Dm6  A   E7 
I wish I could give all I'm longing to give; 
   A   A6      F#m           B7           E   E7 
I wish I could live like I'm longing to live. 
   A       A6          A7        D9       Dm6     A   E7 
I wish that I could do all the things that I can do 
            A  C#7       F#m  Bm      D9     Dm6  A 
Though I'm way    overdue, I'd be starting anew. 
E       A   A6      A7         D9  Dm6     A   E7 
Well I wish I could be like a bird in the sky; 
     A    A6      F#m        B7           E   E7 
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly! 
         A   A6      A7           D9  Dm6     A   E7 
Oh, I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea 
          A     C#7       D9   Cdim 
Then I'd sing 'cause I'd know, yeah, 
          A     C#7       D9   Cdim 
Then I'd sing 'cause I'd know, yeah 
          A      C#7       D9      Cdim          A    C#7   D9 
Then I'd sing 'cause I'd know, I'd know how it feels,  
    Cdim         A        C#7    D9 
I'd know how it feels to be free, 
     B7          A       E      D9   A 
I'd know how it feels to be free
