I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free Nina Simone
[E]I w[A]ish [A6]I knew [A7]how it would f[D9]eel [Dm6]to be fr[A]ee;[E7]
I w[A]ish [A6]I could [F#m]break all the c[B7]hains holding [E]me.[E7]
I w[A]ish [A6]I could [A7]say all the th[D9]ings that[Dm6] I should s[A]ay[E7]
Say 'em l[A]oud, [C#7]say 'em c[F#m]lear [Bm]for the w[D9]hole round w[Dm6]orld to h[A]ear.
[E]I w[A]ish [A6]I could s[A7]hare all the l[D9]ove that's [Dm6]in my he[A]art,[E7]
Remo[A]ve a[A6]ll the [F#m]bars that k[B7]eep us apart.[E] [E7]
I w[A]ish [A6]you could k[A7]now what it m[D9]eans [Dm6]to be [A]me[E7]
Then you'd s[A]ee [C#7]and ag[F#m]ree that [Bm]every m[D9]an s[Dm6]hould be f[A]ree.
[E]I w[A]ish [A6]I could g[A7]ive all I'm [D9]long - [Dm6]ing to g[A]ive;[E7]
I w[A]ish [A6]I could [F#m]live like I'm [B7]longing to li[E]ve.[E7]
I w[A]ish that[A6] I could do [A7]all the th[D9]ings that[Dm6] I can d[A]o[E7]
Though I'm w[A]ay [C#7]o - ver - [F#m]due, [Bm]I'd be s[D9]tart - [Dm6]ing a[A]new.
[E]Well I w[A]ish [A6]I could [A7]be like a b[D9]ird [Dm6]in the s[A]ky;[E7]
How s[A]weet [A6]it would[F#m] be if I fo[B7]und I could f[E]ly![E7]
Oh, I'd s[A]oar [A6]to the s[A7]un and look d[D9]own [Dm6]at the s[A]ea[E7]
Then I'd s[A]ing 'c[C#7]ause I'd k[D9]now, [Cdim]yeah,
Then I'd s[A]ing 'c[C#7]ause I'd k[D9]now, [Cdim]yeah
Then I'd s[A]ing 'ca[C#7]use I'd kn[D9]ow, I'd [Cdim]know how it fe[A]els, [C#7] [D9]
I'd [Cdim]know how it f[A]eels [C#7]to be f[D9]ree,
I'd k[B7]now how it f[A]eels [E]to [D9]be fr[A]ee.
