G5                       G5                           D5
I couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking
          G5                                             G5
As he stared out the window through the sky
                           G5                          D5
It seemed he was taking his last look at freedom
                 G5                                  E5
>From the hopeless, longing look in his eyes
                    D5                                 G5
There were chains on his hands and chains on his feet
E5           D5                          G5
And as I passed him by, the thought came to me

chorus:
G5                       G5
Remember your chains
                          D5                    G5
Remember the prison that once held you
A5           C5       C5    D5         G5
Before the love of God broke through
                       G5                            D5
Remember the place you were without grace
                G5           B5      A5
When you see where you are now
    C5                 G5
Remember your chains
A5     C5                G5   D5     G5          D5       C5
And remember your chains are gone

There's no one more thankful to sit at the table
Than the one who best remembers hunger's pain
And no heart loves greater than the one that is able
To recall the time when all it knew was shame
The wings of forgiveness will take us to heights never seen
But the wisest ones, they will never lose sight
Of where they were set free
Love set them free

[chorus] (instead of G at the end of the chorus, play G/C to lead to the
bridge)
G5
And in the light of all that we've been forgiven of
A5                                              C5
We will find our hearts fuller and freer
                   D5
To give and receive God's love

[chorus] but after "when you see where you are now" play:
    C5                 G5
Remember your chains
A5       C5             G5
Oh, remember your chains
A5               C5               G5
When you remember your chains
                                         G5
Remember your chains are gone

G5
Imagine what your life would be

If Jesus had not set you free
   G5                             G5
Remember your chains are gone
G5
Remember all that once held you

Before the love of God broke through
    G5
Remember your chains
          G5                          D5    G5
And remember your chains are gone

You gotta remember your chains
          G5                             G5
And remember your chains are gone

[ this is how to play the bichords (G/C):

     The first chord is what you play on strings 1-3 (high E, etc.) the
second is what you play on strings 4-6 so in other words G/C would be:
1 = G5
2 = D5
3 = G5
4 = E5
5 = C5
6 = E5   ]
