C                      F

                      C
all of these artists' song
         F           Am          G

When I get older

I will be stronger

They'll call me freedom
G
just like a Waving Flag


Verse 1:

Born to a throne older than Rome

Where I got grown but now it's gone

Avril Lavigne:
C                   G/B
Out of the darkness in came the carnage
Am                         G
threatening my our very survival

Pierre Bouvier
F                          C/E
Fractured from streets and broke all my dreams

    Dm                       G
now feels like defeat, don't red should retreat,


Refrain 1:
       C         G/B
So we struggling fighting to eat and
   Am        G
We wondering when we'll be free
F                  C/E
we cannot wait for some fateful day
     Dm              G
It's too far away so right now we say

C                F
When I get older I will be stronger
Am                      G                  C
They'll call me freedom,just like a Waving flag
                 F                     Am
And then it goes back and then it goes back
                 G
And then it goes back oh oh oh

we patiently wait for some other day
     Dm              G
It's too far away so right now we say


(Repeat Chorus 2 twice)


Bridge:

Canadian Rapper Drake:
               C
how can do the media stop covering
     G/B
it's little help from the government
      Am
we forget about the people who is struggling
     G
I'm so nevrous and awful now and then and
F                       C/E
no see we don't have to wait for things
              Dm
to break apart  if you weren't involve
  G
before it's not too late to start
C
  You probably think that it's
    G/B
too far to even have to care
Am                             G
  well take a look the way you lived
what if it happened there
F                               C/E
  You have to know that urge to make
                   Dm
a change lives but then we can be
                   G
a reason that they see the blacks rise again


(Repeat Chorus 2 sang by Nikki Yanofski)


Chorus 3: Modulate from C to D

They'll call me freedom, just like a Waving flag
                 G                     Bm
And then it goes back and then it goes back
                 A
And then it goes back oh oh oh
