        Eb (x43121@3)                
Three hooded men thru the backroads did creep  
Fm (133111@1)  
Torches in their hands while  
    Eb (x43121@3)      
the village lies a-sleep  
Ab (xx1114@1)name="chord_133111@1">Fm  Eb (x43121@3)
Down to the church where  
     C# (x43121@1)       Eb (x43121@3)    
just   hours be-fore  
Ab (xx1114@1)   Fm (133111@1) Eb (x43121@3)         
voices were singing and  
Ab (xx1114@1)  Fm (133111@1) Eb (x43121@3)        
hands were beating and   
Ab (xx1114@1)   Bb (x1333x@1)name="chord_x43121@3">Eb      Bb (x1333x@1)      Eb (x43121@3)    
saying I  won't be a slave any-more.

        Eb (x43121@3)              
Three hooded men, their hands lit the spark   
          Fm (133111@1)           
Then they faded in the night  
         Eb (x43121@3)              
and they vanished in the dark  
           Ab (xx1114@1)     Fm (133111@1)name="chord_x43121@3">Eb  
And in the cool light of morning

there's nothing that re-mains  
        Ab (xx1114@1)      Eb (x43121@3)        
But the ashes of a bible and  
  Bb7 (x13131@1)     Eb (x43121@3)
a can of kero-sene  
      Eb (x43121@3)      Bb (x1333x@1)    Ab (xx1114@1) Eb (x43121@3)Bb (x1333x@1)name="chord_x43121@3">Eb

        Eb (x43121@3)              
A church is more than just timber and stone  
    Fm (133111@1)           
And freedom is a dark road  
            Eb (x43121@3)           
When you're walking it a-lone  
        Ab (xx1114@1)   Fm (133111@1)name="chord_x43121@3">Eb

       Ab (xx1114@1)          Eb (x43121@3)        
So the lost bells of freedom  
     Bb7 (x13131@1)         Eb (x43121@3)
can ring out in my land
