Burden Of Freedom chords by Kris Kristofferson

Chords with lyrics

C majorC                    DmDm
I stand on the stairway my back to the dungeon

        G7G7           C majorC
The doorway to freedom so close to my hand

     DmDm    G7G7       C majorC
Voices behind me still bitterly damn me

        DmDm   G7G7       C majorC
For seekin' salvation they don't understand


        FF           C majorC
Lord help me to shoulder the burden of freedom

        FF           G7G7
And give me the courage to be what I can

       C majorC            DmDm
And when I am wounded by those who condemn me

        G7G7             C majorC
Lord help me forgive them they don't understand

                    DmDm
Their lonely frustration descending to laughter

        G7G7           C majorC
Erases the footprints I leave in the sand

        DmDm   G7G7        C majorC
And I'm free to travel where no one can follow

         DmDm    G7G7       C majorC
In search of the kingdom they don't understand


        FF           C majorC
Lord help me to shoulder the burden of freedom

        FF           G7G7
And give me the courage to be what I can

        C majorC             DmDm
And when I have wounded the last one who loved me

        G7G7          C majorC
