Capo on the 1st fret.
Bm G
The sun was beating down inside the walls of stone and razor wire
D A
As we made our way across the prision yard
Bm G
I felt my heart begin to race as we drew nearer to the place
D A
Where they say that death is waiting in the dark
Em Bm
The slamming doors of iron echoed through the halls
G A
Where despair holds life within its creul claws
Bm G
But then I met a man whse face seemed so strangely out of place
D A
A blinding light of hope was shining in his eyes
Bm G
And with repentance in his voice he told me of his tragic choice
D A
That led him to this place where he must pay the price
Em Bm
But then his voice grew strong as he began to tell
G A
About the one he said had rescued him from Hell, He said
CHORUS
G A Bm
I'm free, yeah, oh I have been forgiven
G A Bm
Gods love has taken off my chains and given me these wings
G A Bm
And I'm free, yeah, and the freedom I've been given
G A
Is something that not even death can take away fom me
Bm G
Because I'm free
D A
Jesus set me free
Verse 2 is the same as the first verse.
*Chorus*
F#sus F# F#sus F#
If the Son has set you free, oh if the Son has set you free
D
Oh, you are free indeed, oh you are really free
F#sus F# F#sus F#
Oh, If the Son has set you free, oh, if the Son has set you free,
G A
You are free, really, really free
*Chorus 2x*
Play D and G untill the end. The part at the end where he sings, "If the
Son has set you free, you are free indeed," play D and G also.
