INTRO: C5 
 
       C5                  F5              C5         F5 
He was walking with your brother on the streets of Alabama 
        G5               D5               A5 
He was marching next to Martin when he died 
        C5                F5          C5        F5 
Working face to face in Cuba and Managua Nicaragua 
       G5                 D5            A5 
He did not yet beat the Devil but he tried 


        F5                                C5 
Hold on brother Jesse Jackson there's a better wrold a comin' 
       G5               D5                A5 
Where a man can hope a man'll show some heart 
          F5                             C5 
You just keep right on believin' in the better side of human 
           G5             D5               C5 
They ain't ready for you yet but it's a start 
        G5                 A5             D5 
And you move 'em when you hit 'em in the heart  
 
We must bring it all together we must start right at the bottom 
Back to helping one another when we can 
'Cause if he's hungry and he's human and he's fighting for his freedom 
Then he shouldn't be too hard to understand 
 
CHORUS (2x) 
 
Whoa!
