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

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 Freedom
  B                 E
truly worth remembering
   A       E
I wish someone would write an
         B                        E
Ode to Freedom that we all could sing
