G               D              G  
Come and sing a simple song of freedom  
C                   D            G  
Sing it like you've never sung before  
D                    Em  
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere  
C              D                  G  
We, the people here, don't want a war  

G                D                 G  
Hey there Mister Black Man can you hear me  
C                 D               G  
I don't want your diamond or your game  
D                 Em  
I just want to be someone known to you as me  
C                 D                 G  
And I will bet my life you want the same

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

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

G               D              G  
Come and sing a simple song of freedom  
C                   D            G  
Sing it like you've never sung before  
D                    Em  
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere  
C              D                  G  
We, the people here, don't want a war
