If I Were Free

Key: C

Introduction:

 C   G  Am     F 
If I were free
                                                             Am 
I would run into battles with flowers and hugs
                                                                   G 
And bow at the boots of our well-oiled thugs
                               Am 
Yes, if I were free
 C   G   Am     F 
If it were me
                                                               Am 
I would yell out I love you to all I passed
                                                                     G 
I would disrobe and disco and rip off my mask
                               C                             G                                   Am 
Yes, if I were free I'd be the U that crossed the I to simply be
 G                                                           F                         C 
Minding our reflections at the bottom of the sea
                           G 
What did you see?
 C                   G                 Am 
I saw that you and I forever have been free
         G                                                       F                     C 
The light became too heavy and I fell into a dream
                           E7 
What did you dream?

 C  G             Am  F 
I dreamed a   wind that would sweep
                                     Am 
Every castle made of sand
                                                 G 
Out across the old far holy land
                                   Am 
Oh, if this were free
 C   G       Am     F 
If this were free
                                                             Am 
We'd be free of the terror of the graves
                                                   G 
And fear masquerading as the brave
                                   C             G           Am 
Oh, if this were free

 C           G                         Am 
I woke upon a pig of red, white and blue
         G                                                   F                         C 
The circus got too heavy so we fell into the zoo
                           G 
What did you feel?
 C                   G                             Am 
I felt the fear that every queer does in his head
 G                                                                       F                   C 
First thing to starting over, I made sure I was dead
                           G 
What do you dream?

 C                         G                                     Am 
Swimming with ancients, laughing, tired of getting lost
       G                                                               F                             C 
We took our left, remember, when we leaned upon the cross
                           G 
What did you see?
 C                   G                 Am 
I saw that you and I forever have been free
         G                                                         F                     C 
The light became too heavy and we fell into a dream
