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