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