burden of freedom chords and lyrics - KRIS KRISTOFFERSON

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]I stand on the stairway,
my back to the dun[Em]geon
The doorway [A]to freedom so
close [D]to my hand
Voices [Em]behind [A]me still bitterly
[D]damn [Asus4]me[D]
For seeking salva[Em]tion[A]
they don't understand
[D]

[Verse 2]
[Chorus]
Lord, help [A]me [D]to [G]shoulder
the burden of [D]freedom
And give me the [G]courage to be what I [A]can
And when I [D]am wounded by
those who condem[Em]n me
Lord, help me for[A]give
them; they don't understand
[D]

[Interlude 1]
[Em][A][D]

[Verse 3]
Their lonely [D]frustration,
descending to [Em]laughter
Erases the foot[A]prints I
leave in [D]the sand
And I'm free [Em]to travel[A]
where no one [D]can follow
In search of the king[Em]dom t[A]hey
don't understand
[D]

[Verse 4]
[Chorus]
Lord, help [A]me to [G]shoulder
the burden of [D]freedom
And give me the [G]courage to be what I [A]can
And when [D]I have wounded
the last one who [Em]loved me
God, help her [A]forgive
me; I don't understand
[D]
