Singing that Auld Lang Syne

And I hope that the raging flood waters subside

     FF          G+G
That the winds of change blow swift through our hearts
    C majorC              A minorAm
And we'll lay down our weapons, not fire the first shot
    FF              G+G
at the one's who march brave on the streets arm-in-arm
     C majorC             A minorAm
And their stories be told, and their causes live on

And we teach every child so they might rise above
    C majorC            A minorAm
and the power means nothing in a world without love

     C majorC  FF  C majorC  G+G  C majorC
Don't cha see?
