 If I ever   write my
D      Dsus4 D
Ode to Free-dom
D        Dsus4  D         A
 It will be in prose that chimes with me
A7
 It would be a simple
Em
 Ode to Freedom
A7                         D        Daug
 Not pretentious, but with dignity
Daug                       F#7
I would like to think that freedom is
F#7              Bm
More than just a word
Bm/A G         D     Dsus4
In   grand and lofty language
        A                 D
Odes to Freedom often go unheard

 If I ever wrote my
D     Dsus4 D
Ode to Free-dom
D      Dsus4 D        A
 Being privileged and spoilt for choice
A7
 Then I fear that you would

 Be suspicious
A7                         D             Daug
 Of the cause to which I'd lend my voice
Daug                  F#7
It's elusive and it's hard to hold
F#7             Bm
It's a fleeting thing

That's why there is no Ode to Freedom

truly worth remembering

I wish someone would write an

Ode to , Freedom that we all could sing

I thought I had a good ear and could figure out chords, even when not simple and straightforward... but couldn't get that Eaug and a couple more here... you must be a Pro and/or super talented. The genius of Abba/Benny you decoded to the last drop in this Tab, my friend. My hat off 💪🙏
