[Intro ]

Dm A/C# Bm A 
G Fm E A 


 
          Dm            A/C# 
Well, I've written many songs 
          Bm             A 
About the things that have gone wrong 
G               Fm               E          A 
The wars, and the killings, and the lies 
     Dm               A/C#              Bm         A 
This world is full of hate and there is so much at stake 
  G                     Fm                 E     A 
We must fight for our rights and for our lives 

     F#                          Bm 
We've gotta raise a fist for our right to exist 
G                Fm           E      A 
In a world where freedom is a alive 
   Dm             A/C#  Bm                A 
Strikes they will rage, black flags we'll wave 
G                  Fm            E      A 
The rich will have fear in their eyes 
    Dm                A/C# 
But when the fight is done 
     Bm        A 
The revolution won 
     Dm              A              Dm 
We'll burn the final flag and walk on 
 

 
      G                         Dm 
And if we close our eyes and hold each others' hands 
      G                         Dm 
And if we sing boldly in the night 
      G                         Dm            C#    Bm 
We will watch the sun rise through the tears in our eyes 
A                              Dm 
Knowing that we fought the good fight 
 

 
Dm         A/C#     Bm    A 
Behind our black bandanas 
          G       Fm                 E        A 
There's a love so strong it can't be stayed 
Dm               A/C#           Bm               A 
For every living thing in every song that we can sing 
     G          Fm                      E      A 
Each garden and each house that we have made 

       F#                      Bm 
We know that in the end we can count upon our friends 
   G           Fm            E            A 
To have a love stronger than the state 
           Dm                A/C#     Bm              A 
'Cause the tear gas makes us cry, the bullets make us die 
    G                   Fm          E           A 
But in the end, we will push beyond that gate 
         Dm                 A/C#   Bm               A 
Save the world and save the trees, set our comrades free 
   Dm              A             Dm 
Rejoice though the coming was so late 
 

 
      G                         Dm 
And if we close our eyes and hold each others' hands 
      G                         Dm 
And if we sing boldly in the night 
      G                         Dm            C#    Bm 
We will watch the sun rise through the tears in our eyes 
A                              Dm 
Knowing that we fought the good fight 
 

 
  Dm         A/C#           Bm        A 
I met an old man outside an ice-cream stand 
    G         Fm                E    A 
And in an old voice, he said to me 
         Dm                A/C#                 Bm             A 
"You are young and you are strong, and you will find where you belong 
     G               Fm          E       A 
But remember that no man is your enemy 

         F#                              Bm 
It's the borders and the nations and the giant corporations 
     G           Fm         E     A 
But not a single living being." 
      Dm                A/C#          Bm        A 
So we struggle not for chaos, but for harmony 
    G               Fm               E     A 
And we would rather fight instead of die 
   Dm               A/C#  Bm                 A 
We struggle for the dawn, whose side are you on? 
       Dm            A               Dm 
You'll know when we raise our voices high 
 

 
      G                         Dm 
And if we close our eyes and hold each others' hands 
      G                         Dm 
And if we sing boldly in the night 
      G                         Dm            C#    Bm 
We will watch the sun rise through the tears in our eyes 
A                              Dm 
Knowing that we fought the good fight
