[Verse 1]
E
If I ever write my Ode to Freedom
B
It will be in prose that chimes with me
F#m
It would be a simple Ode to Freedom
B E
Not pretentious, but with dignity
Am G#7
I would like to think that freedom is
C#m
More than just a word
A E
In grand and lofty language
B E
Odes to Freedom often go unheard

[Verse 2]
E
If I ever wrote my Ode to Freedom
B
Being privileged and spoilt for choice
F#m
Then I fear that you would be suspicious
B E
Of the cause to which I’d lend my voice
Am E G#7
It’s elusive and it’s hard to hold
C#m
It’s a fleeting thing
A E B E
That’s why there is no Ode to Freedom truly worth remembering
A E B E
I wish someone would write an Ode to Freedom that we all could sing
