Chords

[Verse 1]
D                   G               D
In times like these when night surrounds me

         A                     D
And I am weary and my heart is worn

                       G                  D
When the songs they're singing don't mean nothing

             A                  D
Just cheap refrains play on and on
[Verse 2]
D                 G             D
The storm is here the lightning flashes

            A                      D
Between commercials they're taking names

                G            D
The singers run to where the cash is

             A                 D
Just another link in slavery's chain
[Chorus]
D         A                  D
I see the storm clouds rise above me

           A                      D
The sky is dark and the night has come

             G          D
I walk alone along this highway

                A             D
Where strangers gather one by one
[Verse 3]
D                   G            D
When leaders profit from deep divisions

                  A                D
When the tears of friends remain unsung

                    G              D
In times like these it's good to remember

                 A              D
These times will go in times to come
[Chorus]
D         A                  D
I see the storm clouds rise above me

           A                      D
The sky is dark and the night has come

             G          D
I walk alone along this highway

                   A               D
Where friends have gathered one by one
[Outro]
D          A                  D
I know the storm will soon be over

            A                   D
The howling winds will cease to be

                    G          D
I walk with friends from every nation

             A                     D
On freedom's highway in times like these
