Sons And Daughters

 
Intro
G Am Em C 
[spoken]
G                                      Am     
 There's a little song we sing in our movement 
             Em
Down in the South, I don't know if you've heard it
                                        C
It has become the theme song, we shall overcome

Verse 1
G                         Am                 Em
 How free is anyone, when some are still in chains
                                   C
 Slaves to brokenness, all this blindness
G                         Am                 Em
 How free is anyone, when all these doubts remain 
Em
 In the dead of night, no sign of the light
 D                                    G/B G   C
 Child don't grow weary, soon we will see the sun

Chorus 1
        C  G               Em D
 All my brothers help each other
        C  G         Em    D
 All my sisters walk together
 C               Em D 
 No one is a stranger
                    C    G    Am  Em C
 We're all sons and daughters

Verse 2
G                                    Am                Em
 Join hands with everyone, don't you hear the song we sing
                                           C
 Oh there might be tears, but we are more than our fears
G                                    Am              Em
 We are marching on, but there's a price we have to pay   
Em
 For love means taking on, the weight of what was won
 D                                    G/B G   C
 Child don't grow weary, soon we will see the sun

Chorus 2
        C  G               Em D
 All my brothers help each other
        C  G         Em    D
 All my sisters walk together
 C               Em D 
 No one is a stranger
                    C    G               Em D  
 We're all sons and daughters, help each other
        C  G         Em    D
 All my sisters walk together
 C               Em D 
 No one is a stranger
                     C    G    
 We're all sons and daughters

Bridge
  C           G     Bm           Em  D
 We shall overcome, we shall overcome
     C           G      D                 G/B G  
 The victory is won, oh we shall overcome 

[Chorus 2]

Ending
[spoken]
Am                  Em                           C G
 Deep in the heart I do believe we shall overcome
                      Am                     Em
And I'll tell you why. We shall overcome because the arc 
                                                     C G
Of the moral universe is long but it bends toward us
            Am                     Em         
Behind the dim unknown standard God within the shadows 
                                             C
Keeping watch above us all. We shall overcome because the 
              G
Cause it is right. You shall reep what you sow. We shall 
     Am                    Em 
Overcome deep in my heart I do believe we shall overcome
                C G Am Em C G
With this faith
