We Shall Overcome chords by The Golden Gospel Singers
Verse 1
G
Am
G
Am
We shall, we shall
When I think about the world in reality sense
G
I be gettin' real ill, it be makin' me tense
Am
To see how we hide love,
keepin' me in suspense
G
Murder offense,
how the negative be immense
Am
Crossin' the fence,
peekin' at your neighbor's
grass greener
F
Babies makin' babies
Am
while the power's gettin'
G
meaner in the scener
I see the future lookin' brighter,
but you can't win the war
If you can't find a fighter
Am
So lookin' at the world's despair
G
Makes me believe that we just don't care
Am
So much wealth,
but we just won't share
G
Whisper the screams,
but they feelin' all the air
Am
Oh my lord, I want you help me please
F
Help me to stand and get
Am
up off these knees
G
Easy, when you feel with the right spirit
And the love is free,
if we can just get near it
C
We shall come,
F

oh so deep in my heart

I believe it's that you
gave it to me

G
Am
Now we be a little bit tired
G
Living the lie, and the lie be on fire
A
Like we be free,
Am
but the freedom be conditional
A cancerous dream,
G
that has ceased to be remissional
Am
Invisible chains,
meaningless games exist
Doing your best,
F
pounding your chest tight
Am
Selling your soul
G
just to make your pockets fatter
Smelling your gold
so you make a human ladder
Am
But who you step on,
perpetuate that lot
G
Teaching the next one
all the things you taught
Am
When will we learn,
doing the turn connects
Applying Peking,
G
flapping its wing effects, yo
Am
So when you do the duty
that you're duly doing
F
You be careful not to drag your sister
Am
down into the ruin
Stretch out your hand
G
just to lift your brother tall
F
Cause together we stand,
G
and divided we can only hope to fall
Fall, fall, fall
Am
We want to dedicate this song
G
to some of our heroes.
Am
A
People like John F. Kennedy,
G
Mahatma Gandhi,
Mother Teresa,
Am
and Martin Luther King.
And to peace -loving people
F
Am
G
all over the world.
