3* -5* 5  -3*  3* -2   3*   3*  -2 3*  3*  
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
3* -5* -6 -5*    5   -3*   5
I wish I could break all these 
  -3*   3   -2  -1*
chains hold-ing me
3* -5* 5  -3*   3*
I wish I could say 
-2   3*   3*  -2   3*    3*  
all the things I should say 
 3*  3*   4  -3*  3*   3*
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
-2  -2   -1*    3*  3*  3*  
For the whole world to hear 

3* -5* 5  -3*    3*
I wish I could share
-2   3*  3*  -2 3*   3*  
All the love in my heart 
3*  -5* -6  -5*  5    -3*  -3* 3  -2 -1*
Re-move all the bars that keep us a-part
3* -5*  5   -3*   3*  
I wish you could know 
 -2  3*   3*  -2 3* 3*
what it means to be me
 3*    3*   4  -3* -3* 3*
Then you'd see and a-gree 
-2  -2 -1*   3*   -3* 3*
ev-‘ry man should be free
