[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          
That's why there is no Ode to 
          B                  E
Freedom truly worth remembering
  A        E                      
I wish someone would write an Ode 
   B                         E
to Freedom that we all could sing
