Intro: F# E B9 E (x6)

F#     E              B9            E      
   The great flood of tears that we've cried    
F#        E            B9          E
  for our brothers and sisters who've died
F#     E            B9             E       F#
  Over four hundred years has washed away our fears
    E                B9        E             F#    E   B9   E  
And strengthened our pride now we turn back the tide

F#        E         B9        E
  We will no longer hear your command
F#        E            B9          E
  We will seize the control from your hand
F#        E       B9        E         F#
  We will fan the flame of our anger and pain
    E               B9              E          F#   E   B9   E
And you'll feel the shame for what you do in gods name

[Chorus:]
F#      E             B9       E
We will fight for the right to be free
    F#      E         B9 E
And we will build our own society
    F#         E             B9         E        F#       E   B9   E
And we -- will sing, we will sing, we will sing our own song

[Interlude: F# E B9 E (x4)]

F#         E       B9        E
  When the ancient drum rhythms ring, 
F#    E            B9       E
  the voice of our forefathers sing
F#        E      B9           E           F#
  Forward Africa run, our day of freedom has come
    E          B9   E       F#   E   B9   E
For me and for you,   Amandla Awethu


[Chorus:] [x5]
F#      E             B9       E
We will fight for the right to be free
    F#      E         B9 E
And we will build our own society
    F#         E             B9         E        F#       E   B9   E
And we -- will sing, we will sing, we will sing our own song
