Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Three hooded men through the back roads did creep
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Torches in their hands while the village lies asleep
ch]G[/ch]* [ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Down to the church where, just hours before
ch]G[/ch]* [ch]D[/ch
Voices were singing, and
ch]G[/ch]* [ch]D[/ch
Hands were beating, and
ch]G[/ch]* [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Saying, "I won't be a slave anymore"
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]* [ch]D[/ch
A church is bu - u - u - rning
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
The flames rise higher
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
Like hands that are praying
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Asus4[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Aglow in the sky
ch]D[/ch
Like hands that are praying
ch]G[/ch]* [ch]D[/ch
The fire is sayin’
ch]G[/ch]* [ch]D[/ch
You can burn down my churches
ch]A7[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
But I shall be free
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Three hooded men, their hands lit the spark
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And they faded in the night, and they vanished in the dark
ch]G[/ch]* [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]* [ch]D[/ch
And in the cold light of morning, there is nothing that remains
ch]G[/ch]* [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
But the ashes of a Bible and a can of kerosene
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]* [ch]D[/ch
A church is bu - u - u - rning
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
The flames rise higher
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
Like hands that are praying
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Asus4[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Aglow in the sky
ch]D[/ch
Like hands that are praying
ch]G[/ch]* [ch]D[/ch
The fire is sayin’
ch]G[/ch]* [ch]D[/ch
You can burn down my churches
ch]A7[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
But I shall be free
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
A church is more than just timber and stone
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And freedom is a dark road when you're walking it alone
ch]G[/ch]* [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]* [ch]D[/ch
But the future is now, and it's time to take a stand
ch]G[/ch]* [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
So the lost bells of freedom can ring out in my land
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]* [ch]D[/ch
A church is bu - u - u - rning
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
The flames rise higher
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
Like hands that are praying
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Asus4[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Aglow in the sky
ch]D[/ch
Like hands that are praying
ch]G[/ch]* [ch]D[/ch
The fire is sayin’
ch]G[/ch]* [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
You can burn down my church - es
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
But I - I - I shall be free
