Intro
F C/E Dm A# C
[Verse 1]
F
I used to cling to the strong belief
Gm
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
Gm
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]
Dm
And blessed be those who strive for peace
A#
They shall be shot down in the streets
Dm
Blessed be the free, the proud, and the brave
A#
They shall be humbled and enslaved
Dm
Blessed be those who love and care
A# C
Their hearts shall wither in despair
F
Above all bless the human race
Gm
For spitting in Creations face
C
Who knows if we'll live or die
F
Not I.
C/E Dm
And who cares if we'll live or die
A# C
Not I. Not I.
[Verse 2]
F
I used to think that the written word
Gm
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
Gm
No tyranny could long withstand
C
Nor yet delay its final hour
F C
Brought to dust by words of power
Dm A# Dm A# Dm A# Dm A#
[Chorus]
Dm
And blessed be those who strive for peace
A#
They shall be shot down in the streets
Dm
Blessed be the free, the proud, and the brave
A#
They shall be humbled and enslaved
Dm
Blessed be those who love and care
A# C
Their hearts shall wither in despair
F
Above all bless the human race
Gm
For spitting in Creations face
C
Who knows if we'll live or die
F
Not I.
C/E Dm
And who cares if we'll live or die
A# C
Not I. Not I.
[Verse 3]
F
So I sit here in my ivory tower
Gm
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
Gm
To safer be, I veil my heart
C
See Moses down the mountain flies
F C
Is he bringing truth or lies?
[Chorus]
Dm
And blessed be those who strive for peace
A#
They shall be shot down in the streets
Dm
Blessed be the free, the proud, and the brave
A#
They shall be humbled and enslaved
Dm
Blessed be those who love and care
A# C
Their hearts shall wither in despair
F
Above all bless the human race
Gm
For spitting in Creations face
C
Who knows if we'll live or die
F
Not I.
C/E Dm
And who cares if we'll live or die
A# C F
Not I. Not I. Not I.
