Verse:
D MajorD   A augmentedA
carol rhodes
D MajorD       A augmentedA
knew that she seemed
   BB      A augmentedA
as a sculpture of stone,
      G+G
to those who
    A augmentedA        BB
grew up living history's end.
  A augmentedA
she said "if there's
D MajorD     A augmentedA
something worse
     D MajorD     A augmentedA
than not living to see
     BB       A augmentedA
what the worth of your work is,
  G+G    A augmentedA        BB
it's living to find no one's heard
     A augmentedA
that you fought for it."
G+G     A augmentedA
and carol rhodes,
    D MajorD    A augmentedA      BB
well no one ever said that it would
    G+G   A augmentedA
be understood,
   BB   A augmentedA
understood.
G+G      A augmentedA
and history books, well they said
D MajorD      A augmentedA       BB
"this is how things always looked.
        G+G    A augmentedA
it's not to be shook,
        D MajorD
it's not to be shook."


Verse:
D MajorD   A augmentedA
harold arthur grew up
D MajorD      A augmentedA       BB       A augmentedA
fighting for something that then seemed impossible:
G+G  A augmentedA      BB
liberation from a law.
  A augmentedA          D MajorD     A augmentedA
he said "when you're not worth as much
    D MajorD      A augmentedA     BB
as the other folks riding the bus,
       G+G
you put up a fuss.
     A augmentedA        BB
put your life above some law."
G+G      A augmentedA
and harold's blood,
  D MajorD    A augmentedA      BB       G+G   A augmentedA
no one ever said that it would be understood,
   BB
understood.
G+G     A augmentedA
and carol rhodes explained
   D MajorD       A augmentedA      BB       A augmentedA
"sometimes you just do what you know that you should,
   G+G         A augmentedA   D MajorD
even when it don't feel good."

Verse:
BB   A augmentedA
carol rhodes, she said,
G+G    A augmentedA
"history books may have said
D MajorD      A augmentedA       BB
this is how things always looked,
           G+G   A augmentedA
but things have been shook.
        BB
they have been shook.
G+G     A augmentedA
and carol rhodes, she said,
  D MajorD       A augmentedA       BB
"if there was just one thing that could
     G+G   A augmentedA
be understood:
     D MajorD        A augmentedA
it's that we've since seen things
    BB        A augmentedA    G+G A augmentedA
that we thought then impossible."
