Intro

G Am Em C 

[spoken]

G                                      Am     

 There's a little song we sing in our movement 

             Em

Down in the South, I don't know if you've heard it

                                        C

It has become the theme song, we shall overcome



Verse 1

G                         Am                 Em

 How free is anyone, when some are still in chains

                                   C

 Slaves to brokenness, all this blindness

G                         Am                 Em

 How free is anyone, when all these doubts remain 

Em

 In the dead of night, no sign of the light

 D                                    G/B G   C

 Child don't grow weary, soon we will see the sun



Chorus 1

        C  G               Em D

 All my brothers help each other

        C  G         Em    D

 All my sisters walk together

 C               Em D 

 No one is a stranger

                    C    G    Am  Em C

 We're all sons and daughters



Verse 2

G                                    Am                Em

 Join hands with everyone, don't you hear the song we sing

                                           C

 Oh there might be tears, but we are more than our fears

G                                    Am              Em

 We are marching on, but there's a price we have to pay   

Em

 For love means taking on, the weight of what was won

 D                                    G/B G   C

 Child don't grow weary, soon we will see the sun



Chorus 2

        C  G               Em D

 All my brothers help each other

        C  G         Em    D

 All my sisters walk together

 C               Em D 

 No one is a stranger

                    C    G               Em D  

 We're all sons and daughters, help each other

        C  G         Em    D

 All my sisters walk together

 C               Em D 

 No one is a stranger

                     C    G    

 We're all sons and daughters



Bridge

  C           G     Bm           Em  D

 We shall overcome, we shall overcome

     C           G      D                 G/B G  

 The victory is won, oh we shall overcome 



[Chorus 2]



Ending

[spoken]

Am                  Em                           C G

 Deep in the heart I do believe we shall overcome

                      Am                     Em

And I'll tell you why. We shall overcome because the arc 

                                                     C G

Of the moral universe is long but it bends toward us

            Am                     Em         

Behind the dim unknown standard God within the shadows 

                                             C

Keeping watch above us all. We shall overcome because the 

              G

Cause it is right. You shall reep what you sow. We shall 

     Am                    Em 

Overcome deep in my heart I do believe we shall overcome

                C G Am Em C G

With this faith
