Abm-466444
A9-x02200 ( A2 ) or A-x02220
B-x24400 (it's really a Bsus or a B power chord, but i just refer to it as a B for this
song) Alternative chord: B-x24442
That's basically all the chords to this song! This is the way I play it, because I like
the open chords/strings versus the regular A and Barred B chords. But you can play it

Yet by Your suffering our freedom is won.
