[G] [C]
[G] [D] [C]
[G] [D] [G]
[C] [G] Far between [C] sundown's city [G]
and midnight's broken [C] tunnel, [G] we duck inside [C] the doorway
[D] under [G] [C] crashing.
[G] Those majestic [C] bells of old [G] struck shadows in [C] the sound, [G]
seeming to be the [C] child [D] of [G] freedom flashing.
[C] [G] [Eb] [D]
Flashing for the warriors [G] whose strength [Am] is not [G] defied, [C] flashing [D] for the [C] refugees [Am] on the
unarmed road [D] of flight.
[G] And for each and [C] every underdog, [G] soldier [D] in [C] the night, [G] and we gaze upon [C] the child [D] of freedom [G] flashing.
[C] [G] Even though a cloud [C]-like curtain [G] in a far-off corner [C] flashed, [G] and the hypnotic splattered
[C] mist [D] was slowly [G] lifted, [C] [G] the electric light [C] still struck like arrows [G] fired but for the
[C] ones [G] condemned to drift [Em] or else [D] be kept [G] from drifting.
[C] [Em] [Eb] [D] Going for the searching ones [G] on their [Am] speechless seeking [G] trail, [C] for the lonesome hearted lovers
with few personal [D] details.
[G] And for each [C] unharmful gentle soul [G] misplaced inside [C] a jail, [G] and we gaze upon the child
[D] of freedom [G] [C] flashing.
[G] [C]
[Em] [D]
Freedom, [C]
freedom, [Em] [D] freedom, [G] freedom, freedom.
[C] [G]
Starry-eyed [C] and laughing, as [G] I recall when we [C] were caught, [G] can't find no track of [Em] ours
for [D] they hang [G] suspended.
[C] [G] As we listen one [C] last time, [G] and we watch with one [C] last look, [G] spilled down and [C] swallowed
till [D] it's all [G] in [C] ended.
[G] [D] Going for the aching ones [G] whose wounds [Am] [D] cannot [G] be hurt, [C] for the countless confused that you
[Am] misused, strung out bonds [D] and words.
[G] And for every hung [C] up person [G] in the whole wide [C] universe, [G] and we gaze upon the [Em] child
[D] of freedom [G]
[C] flashing.
[G] [C]
[Em] [D]
Freedom, [C] [F]
[Em] [D] freedom, freedom, [G] freedom, freedom.
