[Start]

[Verse]
G                                 
■ Have you ever wished upon a star
             G                  
And all your hopes seemed so far
                                  G   
Well here's a wish that will come true
                         G           
And all these wishes are just for you
              B     
I wish I knew how it
Em   G     C    D        G
Feel to be free yessiree ■
                     C  
I wish I could break all
         G            
Of these chains oh yes
         D      A       D 
That are really holding me
             G           Em    
Wish I could say all the things
G        C   D     G  
I should say every day


[Chorus]
                Em          
And say em loud say em clear
C       G          D        G   
For the whole wide world to hear
                             Em  
I wish I could share all the love
G      C          D          
That I have in my heart today
    G      C            G        
And ■ then move all the bars that
                D      A7    D7     
Keep the people in the world astring
               G            Em  G
I wish I could give all the joy ■
C         D     G  
Everybody could see
C           G         Em         
Then they'd know then they'd know
      G           D                    G
Every man in this world should be free ■


[Verse]
                      Em   G         C   
Listen I wish I could give ■ all the love
                  D           G        
That I have in my heart right now today
       Cmaj7              G            C D  
I wish ■     that I could help someone ■ who
               A7              D     
Was sad and is somewhere going astray
         G             Bm       
And most of all I wish I had the
           Em                 
Answer and the secret to peace
C                      D             G    
I'd give this to every leader of the world
                                         Em
And then I wish I had the secret of love ■ 
Em                               
For I'd share this with every man
G                     D         G   
Every woman every boy and every girl
     B Em     G        
Oh I ■ wish I could fly
       C    D         G  
Like a bird up in the sky
              G             
And then wake up one morning
                       D 
To find out for myself oh
          A7           D7 
You don't even have to die


[Chorus]
G                             Em     
Listen I'd fly if I could fly you see
G      C            D7  
To the sun and then down
       G            
To the deep blue sea
         D    G  
Then I'd sing yes
    Em                
I'd sing about freedom
  D                
I want everybody to
D                      
Come sing along with me
                Em                   
Let me hear you just sing it one time
    Em             
Let me hear you say
D                Em          
I'd sing yes I'd sing come on
G                                
Sing children sing about love now
G                         
Sing sing sing about peace
                         Em 
Sing sing sing about the joy
          C       
Sing sing sing ohh
