G5               D5              G5  
Come and sing a simple song of freedom  
C5                   D5            G5  
Sing it like you've never sung before  
D5                    E5  
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere  
C5              D5                  G5  
We, the people here, don't want a war  

G5                D5                 G5  
Hey there Mister Black Man can you hear me  
C5                 D5               G5  
I don't want your diamond or your game  
D5                 E5  
I just want to be someone known to you as me  
C5                 D5                 G5  
And I will bet my life you want the same

G5               D5              G5  
Come and sing a simple song of freedom  
C5                   D5            G5  
Sing it like you've never sung before  
D5                    E5  
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere  
C5              D5                  G5  
We, the people here, don't want a war  
 
G5             D5               G5  
Seven hundred million are you listening  
C5                D5               G5  
most of what you read is made of lies  
D5                   E5  
Speaking one to one ain't it everybody's sun  
   C5              D5               G5  
To wake to in the morning when we rise 
 
G5               D5              G5  
Come and sing a simple song of freedom  
C5                   D5            G5

We, the people here, don't want a war  

G5             D5                 G5  
No doubt some folks enjoy doing battle  
C5                D5                   G5  
Like presidents, prime ministers and kings  
D5                            E5  
So let us build them shelves so they might fight among themselves  
C5               D5                 G5  
And leave us be those who want to sing 

G5               D5              G5  
Come and sing a simple song of freedom  
C5                   D5            G5  
Sing it like you've never sung before  
D5                    E5  
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere  
C5              D5                  G5  
We, the people here, don't want a war
