Verse 1
Thank (D major) you.
The next song is a song
that I've sung all over the world.
(G major) It's known everywhere.
(D major) It's a song that I sang all through the
(G major) civil rights movement
and against the war in Vietnam.
(D major) And when the war in Vietnam was over,
I stopped singing it
because it became a sort of warm
and fuzzy song
and full of (A major) nostalgia.
And the song was (D major) much too
powerful for that.
I sang it in (G major) countries that were full of strife.
I sang it in Poland in a (D major) church
where Valencia was hiding out.
(G major) I sang (A major) it all over (D major) South and Latin
America under dictatorships,
always underground.
(G major) Places like (D major) that and only (G major) coun
(D major) tries in strife
(G major) and then lo and behold
I (D major) realized that there are communities
here in the United United States
that still need to have and to sing this song.
(A major) (Asus4) (A major) (D major)
(G major) (B minor) (A major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
We shall (G major) overcome,
(D major) we shall (G major) over (A major) come (B minor) some (G major) (E major) day. (A major) (G major)
(A major) Hold (B minor) him (G major) in my (D major) heart,
I (G major) truly (A major) (B minor) believe
(G minor) we (D major) shall (G major) over (D major) come (A major) some day.
(D major) Amen, we (G major) (A major) (D major) shall (G major) live in peace, (D major)
we shall (G major) live in peace, (D major)
We shall live (A major) in (B minor) peace (E major) some (A major) day.
Oh, (G major) (A major) (B minor) in (G major) my (A major) heart (D major)
I (G major) (A major) do believe (B minor) we (D major) (A major) shall live (G major) in (D major) peace
Some (A major) day, (D major) some day, (A major) (D major)
deep (B minor) in (D major) (G major) my heart, (D major) (G major) I do (A major) believe
(D major) (G major) (D major) We shall (D major) overcome some day,
(A major) (D major)
overcome, overcome, (G major) overcome.
(D major) (G major) Oh, overcome someday. (D major)
