(intro)  G     B7    Em    C D

G                  B7
Brother Martin was walkin with me,
Em                     B7
And every step I heard liberty
C                        G         Em
Tho he's fallin', come a million behind!
A                        D
Glory, Hallelujah, gonna make it this time!

(chorus)
G               B7
No easy walk to freedom,
Em              Dm
No easy walk to freedom,
C                     G        Em
Keep on walkin and we shall be free
A                           D
That's how we're gonna make history

G                        B7
Across the ocean, the blood's running warm
Em                            B7
I, I hear it coming, there's a thunderin' storm
C                          G              Em
Just like we lived it, you know that it's true,
A                         D
Nelson Mandela, now we're walkin with you!

(chorus)
G               B7
No easy walk to freedom,
Em              Dm
No easy walk to freedom,
C                     G        Em
Keep on walkin and we shall be free
A                           D
That's how we're gonna make history

G               B7
In our land, not so long ago,
Em                      B7
We lived the struggle, and that's how we know
C                         G         Em
Slavery abolished, comin' freedom's call
A                     D
Keep on walking and apartheid will fall!

(chorus)
G               B7
No easy walk to freedom,
Em              Dm
No easy walk to freedom,
C                     G        Em
Keep on walkin and we shall be free
A                           D
That's how we're gonna make history

G                        B7
Oh, bread for the body, there's got to be
Em                       B7
But a soul will die without liberty
C                         G           Em
Pray for the day when the struggle is past!
A                              D
Freedom for all! Free at last! Free at last!

(chorus)
G               B7
No easy walk to freedom,
Em              Dm
No easy walk to freedom,
C                     G        Em
Keep on walkin and we shall be free
A                           D
That's how we're gonna make history
G               B7
No easy walk to freedom,
Em              Dm
No easy walk to freedom,
C                     G        Em
Keep on walkin and we shall be free
A                           D
That's how we're gonna make history
        G   C G
You and me!
