We Shall Overcome (Live) chords by Joan Baez, San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus
Verse 1
D
Thank you.
The next song is a song
that I've sung all over the world.
G
It's known everywhere.
D
It's a song that I sang all through the
G
civil rights movement
and against the war in Vietnam.
D
And when the war in Vietnam was over,
I stopped singing it
because it became a sort of warm
and fuzzy song
A
and full of nostalgia.
D
And the song was much too
powerful for that.
G
I sang it in countries that were full of strife.
D
I sang it in Poland in a church
where Valencia was hiding out.
G
A
D
I sang it all over South and Latin
America under dictatorships,
always underground.
G
D
G
Places like that and only coun
D
tries in strife
G
and then lo and behold
D
I realized that there are communities
here in the United United States
that still need to have and to sing this song.
