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.
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
Son has set you free, you are free indeed,"  play D and G also.
