Not quite 100%, but it will get you started... Intro: G A D D DsusD I stand on the stairway G My back to the dungeon A The doorway to freedom D So close to my hand G And voices behind me D So bitterly damn me A For seeking salvation D DsDs2 They dont understand ( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/k/kris_kristofferson/burden_of_freedom_crd.html ) Chorus: Gm? Lord, help me to shoulder D The burden of freedom Gm? And give me the courage A To be what I can D And when I am wounded G By those who condemn me A Lord, help me forgive them D DsDs2 They dont understand Their lonely frustration Descending to laughter Erases the footprints I leave in the sand But Im free to travel Where no one can follow In search of the kingdom They dont understand Chorus: Gm? Lord, help me to shoulder D The burden of freedom Gm? And give me the courage A To be what I can D And when I have wounded G The last one who loved me A God help her forgive me D Dsus2 I dont understand. Gm? 3 3 4 5 5 3
