This song is written in Bbm and could easily be played using the chords 
Bbm Ebm Fm without a capo. I've written this version using a capo on fret 1
to allow a single guitar to cover rhythm and some of the bass notes. The intro 
pattern can be played (with a couple of variations) throughout the entire song
with a second guitar hitting accent chords.

Give me my Amfreedom
Run from these Amdemons
Please don't Dmgive 'em a reAmason
To spill blood on my sAmneakers
EmSo I just put my Amhand up
Then they put me in hanAmdcuffs
DmThey just scared 'cause they don't undeAmrstand us
AmTry to beat us down when we try to stand up
EmI didn't even do nothin'

But I don't belAmieve 'em
Dm'Cause they'll find any Amreason
To kill off they own Ampeople
EmIf they'd just put they Amhands up
Wouldn't reach for my haAmndgun
DmThey just scared 'cause they don't underAmstand us
Maybe if they tried pullin' they pAmants up
Oh make it eaEmsier to run

[Verse 1]

Give me my freedom

Run from these demons

Dm Am

Please don't give 'em a reason

To spill blood on my sneakers

Em Am

So I just put my hand up

Then they put me in handcuffs

Dm Am

They just scared 'cause they don't understand us

Try to beat us down when we try to stand up

I didn't even do nothin'

[Chorus]

America, the beautiful

America, the murderer

America, the funeral

Oh America , God bless America

[Verse 2]

They say they want freedom

But I don't believe 'em

Dm Am

'Cause they'll find any reason

To kill off they own people

Em Am

If they'd just put they hands up

Wouldn't reach for my handgun

Dm Am

They just scared 'cause they don't understand us

Maybe if they tried pullin' they pants up

Oh make it easier to run

[Chorus]

America, the beautiful

America, the murderer

America, the funeral

Oh America , God bless America

[Bridge]

Give me my freedom, yeah

Oh, baby, yeah

Dm Am

Just give me my freedom, oh, oh
