Joan Baez - Birmingham Sunday Chords & Tabs

Hey I just remembered i figured this out in 6th grade. Im in 10th grade now. But 
yeah i just remembered and theres not a tab for this song online. so here it is. A 
beautiful song. Just some background info, in 6th grade we had a fundraiser dinner 
at school, and we were learning about racial discrimination. So i decided to learn 
this song and had some classmates sing it. we also played Hey There Delilah and i 
played a classical song on my guitar. And as always, I love you Jeannette<3 hope you do too

On Birmingham Sunday the blood ran like wine
          D                     E
And the choirs kept singing of freedom

At an old baptist church there was no need to run

The clouds they were grey and the autumn winds blew
     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

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
