Remember Your Chains

{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
[G]I couldn't help but wond[G]er[Em] what he was thinking        [D/F#]
As he star[G/C]ed out the window through the sky               [G]
It seemed he was taking his[G] l[Em]ast look at freedom         [D/F#]
>From the hopeles[G/C]s, longing look in his eyes          [Em]
There were chains on[D] his hands and chains on his feet [G/C]
[Em]And as I pass[D]ed him by, the thought came[G/C] to me

{section: Chorus}
[G]Remember your chains    [G]      [Em]
Remember the prison that o[D]nce held you         [G/C]
[Am]Before the lo[C/B]ve of God [C]broke[D] through  [G]
Remember the place you [G]we[Em]re without grace              [D]
When you see whe[G/C]re you are now[Bm7]         [Am]
Reme[C/B]mber your chains    [G/C]
[Am]And rem[C/B]ember your chains a[G/C]re gon[D]e     [G]                [D]                        [C]

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

{section: Chorus}
(instead of G at the end of the chorus, play G/C to lead to the
bridge)
[G]And in the light of all that we've been forgiven of
[A]We will find our hearts fuller and freer       [C]
To give and receive[D] God's love

{section: Chorus}
but after "when you see where you are now" play:
Reme[C/B]mber your chains    [G/C]
[Am]Oh, remem[C/B]ber your chains [G/C]
[Am]When you remember[C/B] your chains      [G/C]
Remember your chains are gone            [G]

[G]Imagine what your life would be

If Jesus had not set you free
Rem[G]em[Em]ber your chains are gone       [G/C]
[G]Remember all that once held you

Before the love of God broke through
Reme[G]mb[Em]er your chains
And rememb[G/C]er your chains are gone      [D]           [G]

You gotta remember your chains
And rememb[G]er[Em] your chains are gone          [G]

[ 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 = [G]
2 = [D]
3 = [G]
4 = [E]
5 = [C]
6 = [E]   ]
