Kris Kristofferson - The burden of freedom

I stand on the ^Dstairway, my back to the ^Emdungeon The doorway to ^Afreedom so close to my ^Dhand And voices ^Embehind me ^A still bitterly ^Ddamn me For seekin' sal^Emvation ^A they don't under^Dstand

Lord help me to ^Gshoulder^Cadd9

-

^G the burden of ^Dfreedom And give me the ^Gcourage^Cadd9

-

^G to be what I ^A7can And when I am ^Dwounded by those who con^Emdemn me Lord help me ^Aforgive them, they don't under^Dstand

Their lonely frust^Dration descending to ^Emlaugher Erases the ^Afootprints I leave in the ^Dsand And I'm free to ^Emtravel ^A where no one can ^Dfollow In search of the ^EmKingdom ^A they don't under^Dstand

Lord help me to ^Gshoulder^Cadd9

-

^G the burden of ^Dfreedom And give me the ^Gcourage^Cadd9

-

^G to be what I ^A7can And when I have ^Dwounded the last one who ^Emloved me God help her ^Aforgive me, I don't under^Dstand
