Freedom Is Here

By Nick

This is Hillsong’s new track from their upcoming album. This song is fairly easy, it uses the same chords throughout: D A E5 B5

Note that this is based on the pre-album version (non-live version). Hence some of the guitar parts are different, e.g. the intro (done on keyboard), and the guitar uses octaves and not single notes.



Intro (guitar only)

----------7-7-9-9-12-12--------
-7--(X 16)-------------10-10-7-
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
palm mute the 7 (X 16), and use dotted eighth delay whenever playing this part.(I suggest using delay the whole song).


Intro (all instruments)

--------7-7-9-9-12-12----------
-7-(X 8)--------------10-10----
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------

-----------9-9-12-12-----------
-12-(X 10)-----------10-10-7---
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
do this twice before going into the verse.

Verse

---5--5--5----5--5--5----------
--7--7-------5--5--------------
-7--7--7----6--6--6------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------

---4--4--4----2--2--2----------
--5--5-------3--3--------------
-4--4--4----4--4--4------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------

do this twice before going into the chorus, and also palm mute all the notes throughout the verse.


Pre-Chorus

-2-------5-------4-------7-----
-3-(X 8)-5-(X 8)-5-(X 8)-7-(X 1)
-2-------6-------4-------8-----
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------

you can strum these chords open or palm muted, it sounds fine either way. But im not so sure whether the 8 should be in there with the last chord, so I thought I’d let you decide yourself lol.


Chorus

-10------9-------7------7------
-10(X 8)-10(X 8)-9(X 8)-7(X 8)-
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
do this twice and the last time when you’re doing the last chord do this :

-7------12(X 3)----------------
-7(X 4)---------10(X 1)--------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------

Verse
Pre-chorus
Chorus

Once the 2nd time through the chorus is done, do this:

---------7-7-9-9-12-12---------
-10(X 8)---------------10-10---
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------

----------9-9-12-12------------
-12(X 10)-----------10-10------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------


--------7-7-9-9-12-12----------
-7(X 8)---------------10-10----
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------

-------------------------------
-12(X 10)-10-10-9-9-10-10------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------

Bridge
Do the exact same thing as the verse except, don’t do palm muting this time around.


Chorus (quiet)

---------10---------10-----10--
-10(X 2)----10(X 2)-----10-----
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
play the chorus chords like this one time through.



-------5--------5----5---------
-7(X 2)— 7(X 2)----7-----------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
then pick the notes on the first two strings of the verse chords like this.

End the song with the Intro. Listen for exact timing of notes going into the ending from the chorus.
