Burden Of Freedom Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[VERSE]
[C]I stand on the stairway my back to the [D]dungeon
The doorway to [G]freedom so close to my h[C]and
The voi[D]ces is around [G]me now bitterly d[C]amn me
For seekin' sal[D]vation t[G]hey don't unders[C]tand

[CHORUS]
Lord help me to [F]shoulder this burden of[C] freedom
And give me the [F]courage to be what I a[G]m
And when I am [C]wounded by those who con[D]demn me
Oh Farter for[G]give them they don't unders[C]tand

[VERSE]
Their lonely frustration descending to l[D]aughter
Erases the foot[G]prints I leave in the s[C]and
But I'm free to [D]travel w[G]here no one can f[C]ollow
In search of the [D]kingdom t[G]hey don't unders[C]tand

[Chorus/Outro]
Lord help me to [F]shoulder this burden of[C] freedom
And give me the [F]courage to be what I a[G]m
And when I am [C]wounded by those who con[D]demn me
Oh Farter for[G]give them they don't unders[C]tand
Oh Farter for[G]give them they don't unders[C]tand
