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

On Birmingham Sunday the blood ran like wine
DE
And the choirs kept singing of freedom
EA
That cold autumn morning no eyes saw the sun
EDB7
And Addie Mae Collins, her number was "one"
EB7E
At an old baptist church there was no need to run
DE
And the choirs kept singing of freedom
EA
The clouds they were grey and the autumn winds blew
EDB7
And Denise McNair brought the number to "two"
EB7E
The falcon of death was the creature they knew
DE
And the choirs kept singing of freedom
EA
The church it was crowded, but no one could see
EDB7
That Cynthia Wesley's dark number was "three"
EB7E
Her prayers and her feeling would shame you and me
DE
And the choirs kept singing of freedom
EA
Young Carol Robertson entered the door
EDB7
And the number her killers had given was "four"
EB7E
She asked for a blessing but asked for no more
DE
And the choirs kept singing of freedom
EA
On Birmingham Sunday a noise shook the ground
EDB7
And the people all over earth turned around
EB7E
For no on recalled a more cowardly sound
DE
And the choirs kept singing of freedom
EA
The men in the forest they once asked of me
EDB7
How many blackberries grow in the blue sea
EB7E
And i asked them right back with a tear in my eye
DE
How many dark ships in the forest?
EA
The Sunday has come and the Sunday has gone
EDB7
And I can't do much more than to sing you a song
EB7E
I'll sing it so softly it'll do no one wrong
DE
And the choirs kept singing of freedom
