Three hooEbded men thru the backroads did creep
TFmorches in their hands while
the vEbillage lies a-sleep
DAbown tFmo theEb church where
just Db hours be-fEbore
vAboices wFmere sEbinging and
hAbands wFmere bEbeating and
sAbaying IBb wonEb't be aBb slave anyEb-more.

Three hooEbded men their hands lit the spark
Then they fFmaded in the night
and they vEbanished in the dark
And in the cAbool lightFm of mEborning
there's nAbothing that rFme-maiEbns
But the aAbshes of a Ebbible and
a cBb7an of keroEb-sene
And a cEbhurch is bBburn - - Ab- - iEbng Bb Eb
the flames rise hAbigh -Bb er Eb Bb Eb
like hands Gmthat arFme pray - ing

A church Ebis more than just timber and stone
And fFmreedom is a dark road
When you're wEbalking it a-lone
But the fAbuture iFms nowEb
and it's tAbime to take Fma staEbnd
So the lAbost bells of fEbreedom
can riBb7ng out in my lEband
And a Ebchurch is Bbburn - -Ab - - Ebing Bb Eb
the flames rise hAbigh -Bb er Eb Bb Eb
