[Verse 1]
D
I used to cling to the strong belief
Em
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
Em
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]
Bm
And blessed be those who strive for peace
G
They shall be shot down in the streets
Bm
Blessed be the free, the proud, and the brave
G
They shall be humbled and enslaved
Bm
Blessed be those who love and care
G A
Their hearts shall wither in despair
D
Above all bless the human race
Em
For spitting in Creations face
A
Who knows if we'll live or die
D
Not I.
A/C# Bm
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
Em
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
Em
No tyranny could long withstand
A
Nor yet delay its final hour
D A
Brought to dust by words of power
Bm G Bm G Bm G Bm G
[Chorus]
Bm
And blessed be those who strive for peace

Blessed be the free, the proud, and the brave
G
They shall be humbled and enslaved
Bm
Blessed be those who love and care
G A
Their hearts shall wither in despair
D
Above all bless the human race
Em
For spitting in Creations face
A
Who knows if we'll live or die
D
Not I.
A/C# Bm
And who cares if we'll live or die
G A
Not I. Not I.
[Verse 3]
D
So I sit here in my ivory tower
Em
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
Em
To safer be, I veil my heart
A
See Moses down the mountain flies
D A
Is he bringing truth or lies?
[Chorus]
Bm
And blessed be those who strive for peace
G
They shall be shot down in the streets
Bm
Blessed be the free, the proud, and the brave
G
They shall be humbled and enslaved
Bm
Blessed be those who love and care
G A
Their hearts shall wither in despair
D
Above all bless the human race
Em
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
G A D
Not I. Not I. Not I.
