Misc Praise Songs – If I Were Free (Guitar)

          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.

            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.

          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.
