100 People chords by Hanne Kah

Intro:
Em

Verse 1:

  Em                              Am                   D
A hundred people listening to her talk about that generation

    Em                             Am            D
She gets standing ovations for the pain that she felt

Em            C                 Am         D
Talking about dignity but we'll never understand

     Em                               Am               D
It's written in our bloodline but the blood is getting thin

        Em
Getting thin

Verse 2:

Em                             Am           D
Eyes as testimonial won't be enough to understand

  Em                                Am                     D
A hundred people talking 'cause the truth would be way too hard to bear

    Em                   C      Am               D
She learned to leave the hate a very long time ago

    Em                                   Am          D
But hate comes back in waves when people start to forget

      Em
To forget

Chorus 1:

      Am          D
So if this is our legacy

   Em
We shouldn't leave it behind

  Am       D             Em
A dark old ancestry that follows all the time

     C              D           G    Gadd9    Em
It's written in our melodies in everything we built

     C            D                 Em
It's not just any tragedy the story tells

Verse 3:

       Em                                 Am                 D
In the middle of those old places we find hair and shoes and teeth

     Em                          Am            D
This is part of a reality we are never able to see

Em                C                  Am                   D
Still those faces talk to us "You're alive, your kids are free"

    Em                                 Am                 D
How can this be a liability, why do we stop to learn from hell

           Em
Learn from hell

Verse 4:

Em                                      Am                 D
Eyes filled with memories where do they end and darkness begin

   Em                          Am                  D
As long as we are hating it'll turn and consume us in the end

    Em                   C              Am                   D
And still some will stay seated and the dark will take their hand

     Em                                      Am               D
They hear every word she said but they don't feel, don't understand

           Em
Don't understand, oh

Chorus 2:

      Am          D
So if this is our legacy

   Em
We shouldn't leave it behind

  Am       D             Em
A dark old ancestry that follows all the time

     C              D           G    Gadd9    Em
It's written in our melodies in everything we built

     C            D                 Em
It's not just any tragedy the story tells, oh

Outro:

Em                   C              Am                   D
Still some will stay seated and the dark will take their hand

     Em                                      Am               D
They hear every word she said but they don't feel, don't understand

           Em
Don't understand
