The Milk Carton Kids – Freedom (Guitar)

G
Freedom rings loudly now

G                    Em
Listen up, hear the sound

   C                 F     C/G  C
Of screaming as the shots ring out

C           C/B     Am
That's what freedom sounds like now

G
Beating drums, fathers' sons

G                            Em
Teach 'em well till kingdom come

   C                 F   C/G C
Steal the daylight from the sun

C            C/B     Am
That's what freedom has become

D7                          G
Stand over the shadow of a man

D7                              G     F#min6  Em
Staring down his lifetime with blood stained hands

     C   C/B Am         D7 
What had you planned to say?

G
Underground, out to sea

G                       Em
Bodies come to rest in peace

   C              F     C/G  C
Fighting for the right for more

C                    C/B  Am
That's what freedom has in store

G
Asphalt burns, unsoled feet

G              Em
Vacant eyes in defeat

C                 F  C/G  C
Lost the thread on every dream

C                    C/B       Am
That's what freedom's come to mean

D7                            G
Stand behind the handle of a gun

D7                              G       Em
Staring down the future daring time to run

     C    C/B   Am  D7
Like time could run away

G
Freedom's glowing sadly now

G                Em
Listen up, look around

C               F  C/G  C
Candles burn in memory

C             C/B    Am
Freedom is a fading dream
