Burden Of Freedom Chords

(ver. 2)
Kris Kristofferson
C                                       Dm
I stand on the stairway  my back to the dungeon

               G7                      C
The doorway to freedom  so close to my hand

         Dm       G7             C
Voices behind me  still bitterly damn me

               Dm      G7              C
For seekin' salvation  they don't understand


                F                      C
Lord help me to shoulder the burden of freedom

                F                     G7
And give me the courage  to be what I can

              C                        Dm
And when I am wounded  by those who condemn me

                G7                         C
Lord help me forgive them  they don't understand


                                        Dm
Their lonely frustration  descending to laughter

               G7                     C
Erases the footprints  I leave in the sand

                Dm      G7               C
And I'm free to travel  where no one can follow

                 Dm       G7              C
In search of the kingdom  they don't understand


                F                      C
Lord help me to shoulder the burden of freedom

                F                     G7
And give me the courage  to be what I can

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

                G7                    C
God help her forgive me  I don't understand
