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 (xx0232@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D U  D (xx0232@1)U D (xx0232@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D U  D (xx0232@1)U D (xx0232@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D U  D (xx0232@1)U D (xx0232@1) D (xx0232@1) D (xx0232@1)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:

E0 (022100@1)A0 (x02220@1)D2 (xx0232@1)G0 (320003@1)B1 (x2444x@1)E0 (022100@1)
