Kris Kristofferson - Burden of freedom

^CI stand on the stairway my back to the ^Dmdungeon The doorway to ^G7freedom so close to my ^Chand

Voices be^Dmhind me ^G7still bitterly ^Cdamn me For seekin' sal^Dmvation ^G7they don't under^Cstand

Lord help me to ^Fshoulder the burden of ^Cfreedom And give me the ^Fcourage to be what I ^G7can

And when I am ^Cwounded by those who con^Dmdemn me Lord help me for^G7give them they don't under^Cstand

Their lonely frustration descending to ^Dmlaughter Erases the foot^G7prints I leave in the ^Csand

And I'm free to ^Dmtravel ^G7where no one can ^Cfollow In search of the ^Dmkingdom ^G7they don't under^Cstand

Lord help me to ^Fshoulder the burden of ^Cfreedom And give me the ^Fcourage to be what I ^G7can

And when I have ^Cwounded the last one who ^Dmloved me God help her for^G7give me I don't under^Cstand
