Johnny Cash – Burden Of Freedom (Guitar)

C                                      D 
I stand on the stairway my back to the dungeon

               G                       C
The doorway to freedom so close to my hand

       D             G                C
The voices is around me now bitterly damn me

               D       G               C
For seekin' salvation they don't understand

                F                      C
Lord help me to shoulder this burden of freedom

                F                     G 
And give me the courage to be what I am

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

             G                          C
Oh Farter forgive them they don't understand

                                        D 
Their lonely frustration descending to laughter

               G                      C
Erases the footprints I leave in the sand

                D       G                C
But I'm free to travel where no one can follow

                 D        G               C
In search of the kingdom they don't understand

                F                      C
Lord help me to shoulder this burden of freedom

                F                     G 
And give me the courage to be what I am

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

             G                          C
Oh Farter forgive them they don't understand

             G                          C
Oh Farter forgive them they don't understand
