Let Freedom Ring Chords

   
Here’s “Let Freedom Ring”. I tabbed the lead part by ear so I know it’s
not perfect but it’s in the right key. I got too lazy to do the outro lead
but you could figure it out. Enjoy!

Standard Tuning = Capo 4 (key of D#)

There's a man homeless and hungry    There's a wind that's hard and biting
          Em                                  Am              Em
There's a song in need of singing   There's a fuse in need of light
        G                 Em                  G             Em
It's no secret the day is coming   and it's a day I hope to see

But if they ask     If they ask you brother    Who told you that
                      Em
You didn't hear  it from me

          Em                               Am               Em
There's a book with seven seals  There's a beast with seven heads
              Em                                    Am               Em
There's seven angels on seven horses  There's seven vials with seven plagues
          G                   Em                G                 Em
So if you hear  If you hear a knocking  On that door  Just let it be
            Em                    Em                    Am
But if they ask   If they ask you brother  Who told you that
                     Em
You didn't hear it from me

Where the righteous     Where the righteous stood    And where the righteous
                    Em
Where the righteous fell
          Em                                               Am            Em
There's a voice That's soft and whispering Coming from the bottom of the well
      G                Em           G                     Em
And I tried  hard to remember  To remember  what that voice said
                        Em                Am                      Em
Over and over  Over and over   I repeated those words   Inside my head

(Chorus)(x2)

           Em                   Em                   Am
And if they ask If they ask you brother Who told you that
               Em
Tell them it was me

(Play chorus chords plus lead)
