[Verse]
C Am G 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 Am G 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 Am G F C Am C Am F G Am
C Am G 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 Am G 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
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?
Dm C G E7 Dm C Am E7
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
C G Am

I think the C - Am - G - F order in the intro and the main verses is the right one
