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