Key: Ab major
Verse 1
of today and tomorrow,
Gm
G
I still have a dream.
It is a dream deeply rooted
in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day
true meaning of its creed.
We behold, these truths
I have a dream that one day
on the red hills of Georgia,
the sons of former slaves
and the sons of former slave owners
will be able to sit down together
at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day
even the state of Mississippi,
a state sweltering with the
heat of injustice,
sweltering with the heat of oppression,
will be transformed into an oasis of
freedom and justice.
Because I have a dream
that my four little children
will one day live in a nation
where they will not be judged
by the color of their skin,
but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one
C
G
day down in Alabama
with its vicious racists,
with its governor having his lips dripping
with the words of interposition and nullification,
one day right that in Alabama,
little black boys and black girls
as sisters and brothers.
C
G
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day
every valley shall be exalted
and every hill and mountain shall be made low,
the rough places will be made plain,
and the crooked places
will be made straight,
and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed,
Em
G
and all flesh shall see it together.
This is our hope.
Em
G
This is a faith
that I go back to the south with.
With this faith,
we will be able to hew out of the
mountain of despair a stone of hope.
With this faith,
we will be able to transform the
jangling discords of nation
With this faith,
we will be able to work together,
to pray together,
to struggle together,
C
G
to go to jail together,
Em
G
to stand up for freedom together,
knowing that we will be free one day.
This will be the day.
This will be the day when
all of God's children
will be able to sing with new meaning
my country tears of thee.
Sweet land of liberty of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died,
land of the pilgrims pride.
From every mountainside
let freedom ring
and if America is to be a great nation
this must become true.
So let freedom ring
from the prodigious hilltops of New
Let freedom ring
from the mighty mountains of New York.
G
from the heightening
Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.
Let freedom ring
from the snow -capped Rockies
of Colorado.
Let freedom ring
from the curvaceous slopes
of California.
But not only that, let freedom ring
from Stone Mountain of Georgia.
Let freedom ring
from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.
Let freedom ring
from every hill
and mole hill of Mississippi.
From every mountainside.
Let freedom ring
when we allow freedom ring,
when we let it ring
from every village and every hamlet,
from every state and every city.
We will be able to speed up that day
when all of God's children,
black men and white men,
Jews and Gentiles,
Protestants and Catholics,
will be able to join hands and sing in the words
of the old Negro spiritual,
free at last, free at last.
Thank God Almighty,
we are free at last.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
