Jesse Winchester If I Were Free written by Jesse Winchester
F
If I were free what I would do
Bb F
I'd run and lock myself away with you
Bb F
And turn a ring into a key
C7
Oh I know that's what I'd do
F
If I were free
F
If I were strong I would be so mild
Bb F
I would be strong enough to love you like a child
Bb F
I would turn a cry into a song
C7
Oh I know that's what I would do
F
If I were strong
Bb F
If I were wise then I would see
C7 F
What makes you love a foolish man like me
Bb C Bb F Bb F Bb F
I'd stand by you just like a tree
C7
Oh I know that's what I would do
F
I would chain myself to you
C7 F
I would never leave this room if I were free
F
A line of birds across the sun
Bb F
Darling it's my fate to follow on the run
Bb F
But girl this running is not for me
C7 F
I would never run again if I were free.
C7
And here's just what I'd do
F
I would chain myself to you
C F
I would never leave this room if I was free
