Verse 1
(A minor) I'm searching (D minor) for a better way
For (E minor) that bright and better day (A minor)
Survival of the human race (D minor)
Well, (E minor) after (A minor) so many
years of oppression
Of op (D minor) pression, of op (E minor) pression
Blood, (A minor) sweat and tears
Faced in every (D minor) generation
(E minor) Well, (A minor) I hear a voice,
(D minor) I hear they (E minor) calling
These (A minor) are the days of
(D minor) redemp (A minor) tion
(E minor) Well, (A minor) we will overcome

We (A minor) will overcome the sys (D minor) (A minor) tem,
(D minor) (E minor) well

We (A minor) will overcome the sys (D minor) tem

us and not we ourselves
Don't (D minor) trust in Babylon
an (E minor) d lose your health
Seek (A minor) his knowledge, it is true wealth
And (D minor) he helps those that
help (E minor) themselves (A minor)
Don't let them lead you astray (D minor)
Remem (E minor) (A minor) ber there's a better
way (D minor) (G major) (E minor) (A minor)

And shelter for (D minor) the shelterless

So we will overcome, (D minor) rise above
