Three hoD♯oded men thru the backroads did creep

FmTorches in their hands while

the D♯village lies a-sleep

G♯DowFmn toD♯ the church where

just C♯ hours be-D♯fore

G♯voices Fmwere D♯singing and

G♯hands Fmwere D♯beating and

G♯saying A♯I D♯won't beA♯ a slave aD♯ny-more.

And a D♯church is A♯burn - -G♯ - - D♯ing A♯ D♯

the flames rise G♯highA♯ - D♯er A♯ D♯

like handsGm that aFmre pray - ing

a - G♯glow in the A♯sky Fm A♯

the G♯fi - Gmre Fmis D♯saying,

"G♯You can bD♯urn down my churches

but A♯7I shall be -D♯ e fA♯reeD♯." A♯ D♯ A♯ D♯ Fm

Three hoD♯oded men, their hands lit the spark

Then they Fmfaded in the night

and they D♯vanished in the dark

And in the G♯cool lighFmt oD♯f morning

there's G♯nothing that Fmre-D♯mains

But the G♯ashes of aD♯ bible and

a A♯7can of kerD♯o-sene

And a D♯church is A♯burn - -G♯ - - D♯ing A♯ D♯

the flames rise G♯highA♯ - D♯er A♯ D♯

like handsGm that aFmre pray - ing

a - G♯glow in the A♯sky Fm A♯

A churchD♯ is more than just timber and stone

And Fmfreedom is a dark road

When you're D♯walking it a-lone

But the G♯future Fmis D♯now

and it's G♯time to takeFm a D♯stand

So the G♯lost bells of D♯freedom

can rA♯7ing out in my D♯land

And aD♯ church isA♯ burn - G♯- - -D♯ ingA♯ D♯

the flames rise G♯highA♯ - D♯er A♯ D♯
