[Verse 1]
D#
I used to cling to the strong belief
Fm
All through life's slowly deepening grief
A#
That in every heart a dream of peace
D# A#
Longed for the day of its release
D#
Though peace was often hard to keep
Fm
Though fears and hatred still ran deep
A#
I thought one day they'd surely fall
D# A#
To the dream of peace that binds us all
[Chorus]
Cm
And blessed be those who strive for peace
G#
They shall be shot down in the streets
Cm
Blessed be the free, the proud, and the brave
G#
They shall be humbled and enslaved
Cm
Blessed be those who love and care
G# A#
Their hearts shall wither in despair
D#
Above all bless the human race
Fm
For spitting in Creations face
A#
Who knows if we'll live or die
D#
Not I.
A#/D Cm
And who cares if we'll live or die
G# A#
Not I. Not I.
[Verse 2]
D#
I used to think that the written word
Fm
Was more mighty than the gun or sword
A#
Justice, Truth, and Liberty
D# A#
Were more than just mere words to me
D#
But weapons, when in Freedom's hand
Fm
No tyranny could long withstand
A#
Nor yet delay its final hour
D# A#
Brought to dust by words of power
Cm G# Cm G# Cm G# Cm G#
[Chorus]
Cm
And blessed be those who strive for peace
G#
They shall be shot down in the streets
Cm
Blessed be the free, the proud, and the brave
G#
They shall be humbled and enslaved
Cm
Blessed be those who love and care
G# A#
Their hearts shall wither in despair
D#
Above all bless the human race
Fm
For spitting in Creations face

[Verse 3]
D#
So I sit here in my ivory tower
Fm
Playing with these words of power
A#
Rhymes fly from my fingertips
D# A#
Songs fall smoothly from my lips
D#
To better see, I stand apart
Fm
To safer be, I veil my heart
A#
See Moses down the mountain flies
D# A#
Is he bringing truth or lies?
[Chorus]
Cm
And blessed be those who strive for peace
G#
They shall be shot down in the streets
Cm
Blessed be the free, the proud, and the brave
G#
They shall be humbled and enslaved
Cm
Blessed be those who love and care
G# A#
Their hearts shall wither in despair
D#
Above all bless the human race
Fm
For spitting in Creations face
A#
Who knows if we'll live or die
D#
Not I.

And who cares if we'll live or die

Not I. Not I. Not I.
