Intro:
C majorC G+G

Verse:
G+G
Now when they came for the mailman
G+G
I didn't say a word
          G minorGm
Cause I ain't never delivered no mail
      G+G
And if he's gone that won't hurt
C majorC
Till about three days went by
C majorC
And I still ain't got no mail
G minorGm                G+G
Then the missing mailman, well he became my problem as well

Interlude:
FF G+G

G+G
When they came for my neighbor's water

I didn't say a thing

You're on your own, I got my own

And your sink is your sink
C majorC
Well then the next day wouldn't you know

Well my sink didn't work no more
G+G
Shoulda stood up when my neighbor stood up

Then we'd both still have some flow


Chorus:
D MajorD
Well the moral to the story is this
    C majorC
Is that power in numbers exists
   G+G
So we gotta speak up

I said we gotta speak up

Interlude:
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G

Verse:
G+G
And when they came for the migrant workers
G minorGm        G+G
You couldn't hear my call
G minorGm
Well as a matter of fact I sat in the back
G+G
And I didn't make a peep at all
C majorC
Well then the whole town was overrun
   A minorAm
With jobs that needed done
    G+G
Well I shoulda helped them like they helped me
             FF
Cause now nobody's lunch much fun
G+G           G+G
Man I shoulda spoke up

G minorGm
Now when the police was shootin' them brothers
G+G
Stayed hid in my house

Well not a single phrase, comment, a praise

Not a word came out my mouth
C majorC
Well if we sit in complacence

Then the world's overrun by hatred
G minorGm            G+G
Well it's about damn time that we be reminded

That every single life is sacred


Chorus:
D MajorD
Well the moral to the story is this
C majorC
Is that power in numbers exists
G+G
So we gotta speak up

Ending:
