Verse 1
(G major) (G minor) (C major) (C minor) (G major) (G minor) (C major) (G major) (C major) (D major) I
stand (G major) on the (D major) shoulders of (G major) giants
They helped (C major) me see so (C sharpdim) far
ahead (Dsus4) (D major) (E flatdim)
(E minor) I don't do (G major) this for the (C major) living (G major)
(A minor) I do (D major) this for the (G major) dead (G minor)
(C major) (C minor) (G major) (G minor)
(C major) Now, we, as (G major) a people,
have (G minor) so many (C major) unsung heroes
(G major) who kept (C major) us righteous (C minor) and (G major) strong.
(G minor) And (C major) through us,
(G major) they live on.
I'm talking about
grandmothers and grandfathers
who are on the other (G minor) side,
praying (C major) for me and (G major) you,
and mothers and (C major) fathers
and other kin (G major) folks
over there praying (G minor) too.
(C major) They're (G major) calling out your name
an (C major) d that's (D major) why I sing.
I stand (G major) on (D major) the shoulders of giant (G major) s.
They (C major) helped me see so (C sharpdim) far
ahead (Dsus4) (D major) (E flatdim)
(E minor) I don't (G major) do this for the (C major) living, no, no (G major)
(A minor) I do this (C major) for (D major) the (G major) dead. (G minor) (C minor) (G major)
(C major) Now (G minor) sometimes (C major) I know you feel
(G major) helpless and (G minor) hopeless,
(C major) saddled (C minor) with a weariness (G major) too.
Well, (C major) we (G minor) are the (C major) people of the (G major) blues,
but (C major) God has always (C minor) been
with me and (G major) you.
And after (C major) 400 years in the
(G major) wilderness,
(G minor) this much I (C major) know is (C minor) true.
(G major) We've learned our lesson, (G minor)
(C major) there's no (G major) more guessing.
No one believes as much as we (C major) do.
(D major) And this much I know (C major) is true.
That you have the heart of Ali,
(C sharpdim) the mind of Malcolm,
and (G major) the spirit of Martin Luther King.
(C major) And if you (D major) just remember (C major) this,
you can (D major) do anything.
And so we sing.
I stand on the shoulders of Giants.
I stand (G major) on the shoulder (D major) s of
Gi (G major) ants.
They help me see so far ahead.
They help (C major) me see so (C sharpdim) far ahead. (D major)
(Dsus4) I don't (D major) do this for the (E flatdim) living.
I don't (E minor) do this (G major) for the (C major) living.
I do this for the dead
I do (A minor) this (D major) for the (G major) dead (C major) (C minor) (G major) (G minor) (C major)
