E E
on birmingham sunday the blood ran like wine
D E
and the choirs kept singing of freedom

E A
that cold autumn morning no eyes saw the sun
E D B7
and addie mae collins , her number was “one”
E B7 E
at an old baptist church there was no need to run
D E
and the choirs kept singing of freedom

E A
the clouds they were grey and the autumn winds blew
E D B7
and denise mcnair brought the number to “two”
E B7 E
the falcon of death was the creature they knew
D E
and the choirs kept singing of freedom

E A
the church it was crowded , but no one could see
E D B7
that cynthia wesley’s dark number was “three”
E B7 E
her prayers and her feeling would shame you and me
D E
and the choirs kept singing of freedom

E A
young carol robertson entered the door
E D B7
and the number her killers had given was “four”
E B7 E
she asked for a blessing but asked for no more
D E
and the choirs kept singing of freedom

E A
on birmingham sunday a noise shook the ground
E D B7
and the people all over earth turned around
E B7 E
for no on recalled a more cowardly sound
D E
and the choirs kept singing of freedom

E A
the men in the forest they once asked of me
E D B7
how many blackberries grow in the blue sea
E B7 E
and i asked them right back with a tear in my eye
D E
how many dark ships in the forest?

E A
the sunday has come and the sunday has gone
E D B7
and i can’t do much more than to sing you a song
E B7 E
i’ll sing it so softly it’ll do no one wrong
D E
and the choirs kept singing of freedom
