Intro: F#5 E5 B5 E5 (x6)

F#5     E5              B5            E5      
   The great flood of tears that we've cried    
F#5        E5            B5          E5
  for our brothers and sisters who've died
F#5     E5            B5             E5       F#5
  Over four hundred years has washed away our fears
    E5                B5        E5             F#5    E5   B5   E5  
And strengthened our pride now we turn back the tide

F#5        E5         B5        E5
  We will no longer hear your command
F#5        E5            B5          E5
  We will seize the control from your hand
F#5        E5       B5        E5         F#5
  We will fan the flame of our anger and pain
    E5               B5              E5          F#5   E5   B5   E5
And you'll feel the shame for what you do in gods name

[Chorus:]
F#5      E5             B5       E5
We will fight for the right to be free
    F#5      E5         B5 E5
And we will build our own society
    F#5         E5             B5         E5        F#5       E5   B5   E5
And we -- will sing, we will sing, we will sing our own song

[Interlude: F#5 E5 B5 E5 (x4)]

F#5         E5       B5        E5
  When the ancient drum rhythms ring, 
F#5    E5            B5       E5
  the voice of our forefathers sing
F#5        E5      B5           E5           F#5
  Forward Africa run, our day of freedom has come
    E5          B5   E5       F#5   E5   B5   E5
For me and for you,   Amandla Awethu


[Chorus:] [x5]
F#5      E5             B5       E5
We will fight for the right to be free
    F#5      E5         B5 E5
And we will build our own society
    F#5         E5             B5         E5        F#5       E5   B5   E5
And we -- will sing, we will sing, we will sing our own song
