G Am Em C   
G                                      Am                  Em
There's a little song we sing in our movement down in the South
Em
I don't know if you've heard it
                                        C
It has become the theme song, we shall overcome

Verse 
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 
        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 
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 
        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

 We're all sons and daughters

  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

 Deep in the heart I do believe we shall overcome
                      Am                     Em

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

     Am                    Em 
Overcome deep in my heart I do believe we shall overcome

Verse
How free is anyone, when some are still in chains
Slaves to brokenness, all this blindness
How free is anyone, when all these doubts remain
In the dead of night, no sign of the light

All my sisters walk together
No one is a stranger
We're all sons and daughters, help each other
All my sisters walk together
No one is a stranger
We're all sons and daughters
