Hey I just remembered i figured this out in 6th grade. Im in 10th grade now. But
yeah i just remembered and theres not a tab for this song online. so here it is. A
beautiful song. Just some background info, in 6th grade we had a fundraiser dinner
at school, and we were learning about racial discrimination. So i decided to learn
this song and had some classmates sing it. we also played Hey There Delilah and i
played a classical song on my guitar. And as always, I love you Jeannette<3 hope you do too

Oh btw Capo on 2nd fret and then play the chords. Part of the song goes to
arpeggio, which is just straight down from 6th to 1st string
ECome round by my side & I'll sing yoAu a song
I'll sEing it so softly it'll Ddo no one wrEong
On EBirmingham Sunday the bElood ran like wine
And the chDoirs kept singing of fEreedom
EThat cold autumn morning no eyes saw the sAun
And AEddie Mae Collins, her nDumber was &qB7uot;one"
At an oEld baptist cB7hurch there was nEo need to run
And the chDoirs kept singing of fEreedom
EThe clouds they were grey and the autumn winds Ablew
And DEenise McNair brought the nDumber to &B7quot;two"
The falcEon of death wB7as the creaEture they knew
And the chDoirs kept singing of frEeedom
EThe church it was crowded, but no one couAld see
That CEynthia Wesley's dark nuDmber was &quB7ot;three"
Her praEyers and her feeB7ling would sEhame you and me
And the chDoirs kept singing of frEeedom
EYoung Carol Robertson entered the dAoor
And the Enumber her killers had Dgiven was &qB7uot;four"
She aEsked for a bleB7ssing but asEked for no more
And the chDoirs kept singing of frEeedom
EOn Birmingham Sunday a noise shook the grAound
And the peEople all over eDarth turned arB7ound
EFor no on reB7called a mEore cowardly sound
And the chDoirs kept singing of freEedom
EThe men in the forest they once asked Aof me
How mEany blackberries grDow in the blue sB7ea
EAnd i asked them rB7ight back wEith a tear in my eye
How manDy dark ships in the foErest?
EThe Sunday has come and the Sunday has gAone
And I caEn't do much more thDan to sing you a B7song
EI'll sing it sB7o softly it'll dEo no one wrong
And the chDoirs kept singing of freEedom
And thats it! Very easy. GO grab a girl and have her sing this with you on guitar.
