You know it's darkest before the dawn

This thought keeps me moving on

If we could heed these early warnings

The time is now quite early morning
[Verse 2]

Some say that mankind won't long endure

Em7         A         D          D
But what makes them feel so doggone sure?

G           G         D          D
I know that you who hear my singing

Em7         A         D          D
Could make those freedom bells go ringing

And so keep on while we live

Until we have no, no more to give

Bm7         G         D          D
And when these fingers can strum no longer

Em7         A         D          D
Hand the old guitar to young ones stronger

Bm7         G         D          D
And when these fingers can strum no longer

Em7         A         D          D
Hand the old guitar to young ones stronger
[Verse 4]
Em7         A         D          D
So though it's darkest before the dawn

This thought keeps us moving on

Bm7         G         D          D
Through all this world of joy and sorrow

Em7         A         D          D
We still can have singing tomorrow

Bm7         G         D          D
Through all this world of joy and sorrow

Em7         A         D          D
We still can have singing tomorrow
[Verse 5]

Yes though it's darkest before the dawn

The time is now quite early morning

G           G         D          D
