O Freedom Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]The[Bm][Em]
policemen broke
my door [G]down
Dragged me from my [Em]bed
I [C]asked them what was happening
[D]They just ignor[Em]ed the words I said

[Verse 2]
They [Em]waved their guns in my [G]face
[Em]Kept[G] screaming out my name
[Em]Something terr[C]ible had happe[D]ned
And some[Em]how I was to blame

[Verse 3]
[D]
O freedom, what [C]liberties
are taken [Em]in thy name
In thy [D]name
O freedom, what [G]liber[C]ties are taken
What liberties are taken
What liberties are [G]taken [Em]in thy name

[Verse 4]
My [Em]accusers formed a jury
[G]The judge and the defense
[Em]The [C]charges were
made known to [D]me
But [Em]not the evidence

[Verse 5]
There [Em]was no guilty verdict
[G]Yet, still I was det[Em]ained
Flown [C]to another country [G]where
[D]Their meth[Em]ods are less constrained

[Verse 6]
[D]
O freedom, what [C]liberties
are taken [Em]in thy name
In thy [D]name
O freedom, what [Em]liber[C]ties are taken
What liberties are taken
What liberties are taken [Em]in thy name

[Verse 7]
In [Em]our determination
To de[G]fend [Em]democracy
We must [C]not destroy the safeguards
[D]Tha[Em]t underpin our liberty

[Verse 8]
For [Em]who will pay the price if
In[G]justice such as [D]this
[Em]Turns our protecto[C]rs to oppressors
[D]And angry men[Em] to terrorists?

[Verse 9]
[D]
O freedom, [C]what liberties
are taken in [Em]thy name
In thy [D]name
O [G]freedom, what [C]liberties are taken
What liberties are taken
What liberties [Em]are taken in thy name
