Come and sing a simple song of freedom.

C                                G
Sing it like you've never sung before.

D                             Em          C
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere,

we, the people here, don't want a war.

G                 D                  G
Hey there, Mister Black Man, can you hear me?

C                                  G
I don't want your diamonds or your game.

D                          Em               C
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.

Sing it like you've never sung before.

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                                G
Most of what you read is made of lies.

D                                 Em          C
But speaking one to one, ain't it everybody's sun?

C                  D               G
to wake you in the morning when we rise.

G               D              G
Come and sing a simple song of freedom.

C                                G
Sing it like you've never sung before.

D                             Em          C
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere,

C              D                  G
we, the people here, don't want a war.

G             D              G
Brother Solzhenitsyn are you busy?

   C                                G
If not won't you drop this friend a line?

D                          Em              C
Tell me if the man, who is plowing up your land,

C               D                G
has got the war machine upon his mind.

G               D              G
Come and sing a simple song of freedom.

C                                G
Sing it like you've never sung before.

D                             Em          C
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere,

we, the people here, don't want a war.

G                        D           G
Now no doubt, some folks enjoy doing battle.

     C                              G
Like presidents, prime ministers or kings.

    D
So, let's all build them shelves where they can

Em                     C
fight it out among themselves.

    C                D               G
and leave the people be, who want to sing.

G               D              G
Come and sing a simple song of freedom.

C                                G
Sing it like you've never sung before.

D                              Em         C
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere,

C              D                 G
we, the people here, don't want a war.

D                                    Em         C
I said let it fill the air, telling people everywhere,

C              D                 G
we, the people here, don't want a war.

G        G        G        G
Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom

    G        G        G        G
Oh, freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom
