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