by Nina Simone [Intro] A F#m D A A F#m B E A F#m D A A F#m E A
  A           F#m          D          A
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free

  A            F#m            B             E
I wish I could break all the chains holding me

  A            F#m         D                            A
I wish I could say all the things that I should like to say

 A                     F#m
Say 'em loud, say 'em clear

        E                    A
For the whole round world to hear

  A            F#m           D                         A
I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart

  A            F#m             B             E
Remove all the parts that keep us apart

  A              F#m          D          A
I wish you could know what it means to be me

           A        F#m
Then you'd see and agree

           E             A
that every man should be free

  A           F#m          D          A
I wish I could give all I'm longing to give

  A            F#m            B             E
I wish I could live like I'm longing to live

  A            F#m        D          A
I wish I could do all the things that I can do

           A       F#m
Though I'm way overdue

       E         A
I'd be starting anew

  A            F#m       D          A
I wish I could be like a bird in the sky

    A              F#m     B             E
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly

    A           F#m           D          A
I'd soar to the song and look down at the scene

A                    F#m
Then I'd sing 'cos I know yeah

A                    F#m
Then I'd sing 'cos I know yeah

A                    F#m
Then I'd sing 'cos I know I'd know how it feels

A-F#m is played until finish.
