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