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
E5                                       A5
Come round by my side & I'll sing you a song
      E5                      D5           E5
I'll sing it so softly it'll do no one wrong
   E5                      E5
On Birmingham Sunday the blood ran like wine
          D5                     E5
And the choirs kept singing of freedom

E5                                         A5
That cold autumn morning no eyes saw the sun
     E5                      D5           B5
And Addie Mae Collins, her number was "one"
       E5           B5               E5
At an old baptist church there was no need to run
          D5                     E5
And the choirs kept singing of freedom

E5                                              A5
The clouds they were grey and the autumn winds blew
     E5                         D5         B5
And Denise McNair brought the number to "two"
        E5            B5         E5
The falcon of death was the creature they knew
          D5                      E5
And the choirs kept singing of freedom

E5                                        A5
The church it was crowded, but no one could see
      E5                      D5           B5
That Cynthia Wesley's dark number was "three"
       E5               B5          E5
Her prayers and her feeling would shame you and me
          D5                      E5
And the choirs kept singing of freedom

E5                                  A5
Young Carol Robertson entered the door
        E5                      D5           B5
And the number her killers had given was "four"
     E5             B5          E5
She asked for a blessing but asked for no more
          D5                      E5
And the choirs kept singing of freedom

E5                                        A5
On Birmingham Sunday a noise shook the ground
          E5              D5             B5
And the people all over earth turned around
E5           B5        E5
For no on recalled a more cowardly sound
          D5                       E5
And the choirs kept singing of freedom

E5                                     A5
The men in the forest they once asked of me
     E5                  D5               B5
How many blackberries grow in the blue sea
E5                 B5         E5
And i asked them right back with a tear in my eye
       D5                     E5
How many dark ships in the forest?

E5                                       A5
The Sunday has come and the Sunday has gone
        E5                  D5                B5
And I can't do much more than to sing you a song
E5             B5              E5
I'll sing it so softly it'll do no one wrong
          D5                       E5
And the choirs kept singing of freedom
