A little about this: I have come to absolutely love this version of Burden of 
Freedom and it made me a little sad that it wasn't represented here. This is my 
first submission, so please keep that in mind when critiquing.

The time signature is 3/4 and the usual strum pattern is:
1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 -
D D U  D  U D D U  D  U D D U  D  U D   D   D

On the measures you play G C G you do the same pattern the whole time.

There's a variation to normal Am7 that I use transitionally during the verses. It is:

E 0
A 0
D 2
G 0
B 1
E 0

Erases the footprints

Dsus4 Dsus2 D    G       C         G
I leave in the sand

But I'm free to travel

D                 G        C        G
Where no one can follow

The last one who loved me

I don't under---stand.
