Not quite 100%, but it will get you started... Intro: F G C
                C  Csus2  C
I stand on the stairway

               F
My back to the dungeon

               G
The doorway to freedom

               C
So close to my hand

               F
And voices behind me

              C
So bitterly damn me

             G
For seeking salvation

             C    Csus2    C
They dont understand
Chorus:
                 Fm?
Lord, help me to shoulder

              C
The burden of freedom

                Fm?
And give me the courage

             G
To be what I can

               C
And when I am wounded

               F
By those who condemn me

                  G
Lord, help me forgive them

             C    Csus2    C
They dont understand
Their lonely frustration Descending to laughter Erases the footprints I leave in the sand But Im free to travel Where no one can follow In search of the kingdom They dont understand Chorus:
                 Fm?
Lord, help me to shoulder

                C
The burden of freedom

                 Fm?
And give me the courage

            G
To be what I can

                 C
And when I have wounded

                 F
The last one who loved me

                 G
God help her forgive me

             C    Csus2    C
I dont understand.
