Standard (EADGBE)
I couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking
As he stared out the window through the sky
It seemed he was taking his last look at freedom
>From the hopeless, longing look in his eyes
There were chains on his hands and chains on his feet
And as I passed him by, the thought came to me
Chorus
Remember your chains
Remember the prison that once held you
Before the love of God broke through
Remember the place you were without grace
When you see where you are now
Remember your chains
And remember your chains are gone
There's no one more thankful to sit at the table
Than the one who best remembers hunger's pain
And no heart loves greater than the one that is able
To recall the time when all it knew was shame
The wings of forgiveness will take us to heights never seen
But the wisest ones, they will never lose sight
Of where they were set free
Love set them free
Chorus
(instead of G at the end of the chorus, play G/C to lead to the
bridge)
And in the light of all that we've been forgiven of
We will find our hearts fuller and freer
To give and receive God's love
Chorus
but after "when you see where you are now" play:
Remember your chains
Oh, remember your chains
When you remember your chains
Remember your chains are gone
Imagine what your life would be
If Jesus had not set you free
Remember your chains are gone
Remember all that once held you
Before the love of God broke through
Remember your chains
And remember your chains are gone
You gotta remember your chains
And remember your chains are gone
[ this is how to play the bichords G/C :
The first chord is what you play on strings 1-3 (high E, etc.) the
second is what you play on strings 4-6 so in other words G/C would be:
1 =
2 =
3 =
4 =
5 =
6 = ]
