[Verso 1]
Dm A/C#
Well, I've written many songs
Bm A
About the things that have gone wrong
G Fm E A
The wars, and the killings, and the lies
Dm A/C# Bm A
This world is full of hate and there is so much at stake
G Fm E A
We must fight for our rights and for our lives
F# Bm
We've gotta raise a fist for our right to exist
G Fm E A
In a world where freedom is a alive
Dm A/C# Bm A
Strikes they will rage, black flags we'll wave
G Fm E A
The rich will have fear in their eyes
Dm A/C#
But when the fight is done
Bm A
The revolution won
Dm A Dm
We'll burn the final flag and walk on
[Refrão]
G Dm
And if we close our eyes and hold each others' hands
G Dm
And if we sing boldly in the night
G Dm C# Bm
We will watch the sun rise through the tears in our eyes
A Dm
Knowing that we fought the good fight
[Verso 2]
Dm A/C# Bm A
Behind our black bandanas
G Fm E A
There's a love so strong it can't be stayed
Dm A/C# Bm A
For every living thing in every song that we can sing
G Fm E A
Each garden and each house that we have made
F# Bm
We know that in the end we can count upon our friends
G Fm E A
To have a love stronger than the state
Dm A/C# Bm A
'Cause the tear gas makes us cry, the bullets make us die
G Fm E A
But in the end, we will push beyond that gate
Dm A/C# Bm A
Save the world and save the trees, set our comrades free
Dm A Dm
Rejoice though the coming was so late
[Refrão]

And if we close our eyes and hold each others' hands
G Dm
And if we sing boldly in the night

[Verso 3]
Dm A/C# Bm A
I met an old man outside an ice-cream stand
G Fm E A
And in an old voice, he said to me
Dm A/C# Bm A
"You are young and you are strong, and you will find where you belong
G Fm E A
But remember that no man is your enemy
F# Bm
It's the borders and the nations and the giant corporations
G Fm E A
But not a single living being."
Dm A/C# Bm A
So we struggle not for chaos, but for harmony
G Fm E A
And we would rather fight instead of die
Dm A/C# Bm A
We struggle for the dawn, whose side are you on?
Dm A Dm
You'll know when we raise our voices high
[Refrão]
G Dm
And if we close our eyes and hold each others' hands
G Dm
And if we sing boldly in the night
G Dm C# Bm
We will watch the sun rise through the tears in our eyes
A Dm
Knowing that we fought the good fight
