This might not sound exactly like original chords, but they seem pretty accurate when I
play them. Either way, they’re fairly easy to play. Hope you enjoy!
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
A church is burning
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
The flames rise higher
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Like hands that are praying
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Aglow in the sky
ch]G[/ch
Like hands that are praying
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
The fire is sayin’
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
You can burn down my churches
ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
But I shall be free
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Three hooded men through the back roads did creep
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Torches in their hands while the village lies asleep
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Down to the church where, just hours before
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Voices were singing, and
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Hands were beating, and
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Saying, "I won't be a slave anymore"
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
A church is burning
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
The flames rise higher
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Like hands that are praying
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Aglow in the sky
ch]G[/ch
Like hands that are praying
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
The fire is sayin’
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
You can burn down my churches
ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
But I shall be free
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Three hooded men, their hands lit the spark
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And they faded in the night, and they vanished in the dark
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And in the cold light of morning, there is nothing that remains
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
But the ashes of a Bible and a can of kerosene
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
A church is burning
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
The flames rise higher
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Like hands that are praying
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Aglow in the sky
ch]G[/ch
Like hands that are praying
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
The fire is sayin’
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
You can burn down my churches
ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
But I shall be free
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
A church is more than just timber and stone
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And freedom is a dark road when you're walking it alone
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
But the future is now, and it's time to take a stand
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
So the lost bells of freedom can ring out in my land
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
A church is burning
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
The flames rise higher
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Like hands that are praying
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Aglow in the sky
ch]G[/ch
Like hands that are praying
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
The fire is sayin’
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
You can burn down my churches
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
But I - I - I shall be free
