A E/G# F#m D E
[Verse 1]
A
I used to cling to the strong belief
Bm
All through life's slowly deepening grief
E
That in every heart a dream of peace
A E
Longed for the day of its release
A
Though peace was often hard to keep
Bm
Though fears and hatred still ran deep
E
I thought one day they'd surely fall
A E
To the dream of peace that binds us all
[Chorus]
F#m
And blessed be those who strive for peace
D
They shall be shot down in the streets
F#m
Blessed be the free, the proud, and the brave
D
They shall be humbled and enslaved
F#m
Blessed be those who love and care
D E
Their hearts shall wither in despair
A
Above all bless the human race
Bm
For spitting in Creations face
E
Who knows if we'll live or die
A
Not I.
E/G# F#m
And who cares if we'll live or die
D E
Not I. Not I.
[Verse 2]
A
I used to think that the written word
Bm
Was more mighty than the gun or sword
E
Justice, Truth, and Liberty
A E
Were more than just mere words to me
A
But weapons, when in Freedom's hand
Bm
No tyranny could long withstand
E
Nor yet delay its final hour
A E
Brought to dust by words of power
F#m D F#m D F#m D F#m D
[Chorus]
F#m
And blessed be those who strive for peace
D
They shall be shot down in the streets
F#m
Blessed be the free, the proud, and the brave
D
They shall be humbled and enslaved
F#m
Blessed be those who love and care
D E
Their hearts shall wither in despair
A
Above all bless the human race
Bm
For spitting in Creations face
E
Who knows if we'll live or die
A
Not I.
E/G# F#m
And who cares if we'll live or die
D E
Not I. Not I.
[Verse 3]
A
So I sit here in my ivory tower
Bm
Playing with these words of power
E
Rhymes fly from my fingertips
A E
Songs fall smoothly from my lips
A
To better see, I stand apart
Bm
To safer be, I veil my heart
E
See Moses down the mountain flies
A E
Is he bringing truth or lies?
[Chorus]
F#m
And blessed be those who strive for peace
D
They shall be shot down in the streets
F#m
Blessed be the free, the proud, and the brave
D
They shall be humbled and enslaved
F#m
Blessed be those who love and care
D E
Their hearts shall wither in despair
A
Above all bless the human race
Bm
For spitting in Creations face
E
Who knows if we'll live or die
A
Not I.
E/G# F#m
And who cares if we'll live or die
D E A
Not I. Not I. Not I.
