                                            (if no tab on chords, then same as PC)

Intro: C#m7  | B/D#  |  E | Eadd2 (2x)

 

V1:  C#m7                               B/D#                                                E              Eadd2    

The problem’s not a gun, not a color, not a hundred dollar bill

             C#m7                                                    B/D#                                                      E              Eadd2    
We think the struggle can be won with simple thoughts like 'come together be good willed'

PC:    A2                                              Bsus4                                  C#m7                  Bsus4

The gap between the rich and poor is spreading out all the more or so they say, we ignore the claims
C: A2 |    E5         |          Bsus4   | C#m7  |   A2   |   E5    |    Bsus4
          O my soul, faint not,      no,                    faint not

 A2    |     E5         |          Bsus4   | C#m7  |   A2   |   E5    |    Bsus4

          O my soul, keep up,       up                          in love


V2: It’s not that we don’t know or we’re not shown the proof of poverty

It’s not that we don’t have the tools to go to break this yoke of slavery

 

PC2: We quit because it’s not an easy fix and then forget that they are even there. We forget to care

 

CH2: Oh my soul…

   

B:  A2                  A2             E5   Bsus4

Where there is hatred, let me sow love
Where there is injury, let  me  pardon

Where there is darkness, let the Light come,

C#oct         D#oct

Come
