No Capo

The entire song is just a I V vi IV progression in C major
C G Am F:||

C
I'm feeling powerless
G
I'm feeling hopeless
          Am                           F
I see the world beneath us open to the darkness
         C
I see it everywhere
           G
There's no progress
               Am                        F
It's like I'm slowly giving into all the madness

C G Am F
I stand here imperfect right before you
Been searching so long for a way to get through
Swallowed the universe abandoned my youth
I still can't forsake what I feel is true
I was made out of dust by a voice in the wind
To conquer my fears and rise like king
I will always evolve and never give in
I will follow my dreams cause I know I will win

F                       C
And if you don't take a stand
G
You won't understand

C
We will overcome
        G
We will overcome
                    Am
It's written in the wind
                  F                 C
Set the wheels in motion and rise again
           G               Am
Higher and higher and higher
            F
Higher and higher
Am          G
We will overcome
    C
My friend

C G Am F
And I will not justify what I did
Through the pain sweat and tears I have learned to forgive
So live out your life cause it is a gift
And rise up above; take the whole world with you
I stand here naked this is my truth
Hold on to your innocence and beauty of youth
And don't ever forget the power lies within
Being born ain't a crime you can be what you want to

F                       C
And if you don't take a stand
G
You won't understand

C
We will overcome
        G
We will overcome
                    Am
It's written in the wind
                  F                 C
Set the wheels in motion and rise again
           G               Am
Higher and higher and higher
            F
Higher and higher
Am          G
We will overcome
    C

I see the world beneath us change to something beautiful
         C
I see it everywhere
         G
There is progress
      Am                              F
If we unite as one then everything is possible
