riff2           I think its played on a bass but it sounds good when

|-3--------| E 
 
No chord              C                        
If loving God was a crime, I'd be an outlaw 
G                     C  
I would join the fight 
G                        C 
They could not shut me down 
                    G                    C  
I would stand tall, for what I know is right 
 
*Chorus* 
Am          D           G          Em 
Would you stand with me  for the world to see 
C                   G   riff2 
When all is on the line 
C          D         G     Em 
Would you be ashamed  of Jesus name 
C          D          G      C      G 
If loving God was a crime 
 
                   C                    G 
The schoolroom, I hear, teaches choices 
                    C 
To kids who cannot pray 
G                  C                      G 
And the unborn I fear, they have no voice 
              C 
in politics today 
 
*Repeat Chorus* 
 
*Bridge* 
Am          C                 G                          
           Take a look around.  What will tomorrow hold? 
Am          C                 G 
      It's time to stand our ground. 
Am                   C 
We must be bold.  We must be bold. 
 
*Organ Solo* 
G     C     Am    D 
 
                      C 
If loving God was a crime, I'd be an outlaw. 
G                   C 
I would join the fight.
