Free (Chapman) - Chords

[Printable version]

VERSE 1
    Bm                                G
The sun was beating down inside - The walls of stone and razor wire
D                               A
As we made our way - Across the prison yard
  Bm                               G
I felt my heart begin to race - As we drew nearer to the place
D                                      A
Where they say that death - Is waiting in the dark
    Em                              Bm
The slamming doors of iron - Echoed through the halls
G                                     A
Where despair holds life - Within its cruel claws
    Bm                            G
But then I met a man whose face - Seemed so strangely out of place
  D                                   A
A blinding light of hose -Was shining in his eyes
    Bm                                G
And with repentance in his voice - He told me of his tragic choice
     D                                A
That led him to this place - Where he must pay the price
    Em                                 Bm
But then his voice grew strong - As he began to tell
G                                   A
About the one he said - Had rescued him from hell, he said


CHORUS
    G    A         Bm
I'm free yeah - Oh I have been forgiven
     G              A                   Bm
Gods love has taken off my chains - And given me these wings
        G    A              Bm
And I'm free yeah - And the freedom I've been given
   G                                   A
Is something that not even death - Can take away from me
        Bm      G               D  A
Because I'm free - Jesus set me free


VERSE 2
   Bm                                   G
We said a prayer and said goodbye - And tear began to fill my eyes
D                                A
As I stepped back out - Into the blinding sun
    Bm                       G
And even as I drove away - I found that I could not escape
D                                A
The way he spoke of what grace - That God had done
  Em                          Bm
I thought about how sin - Had sentenced us to die
    D                           A
And how God gave His only Son - So you and I, could say

And if the Son has set you free

Oh, if the Son has set you free

Oh, if the Son has set you free

God's grace has broken every chain - And given us these wings

Is something that not even death - Can take away from you and me
