[Verse 1]
C
Oh when darkness over comes us
G
And we cannot find our way
D
Although we keep on searching
C               G
For the light of day
C
And we hear the children crying
G
And we don't know what to do
D
Gotta hold onto each other
C                       G
And love will see us through

[Chorus]
        Em
Let love rule
             C          G
Let it guide us through the night
Em                      C
That we may stay together
D
And keep our spirits calm
G       Em
Only truth
C                       G
Will shine the morning light
Em                      C
'Cause love’s the only thing
D                               G
That will keep us safe from harm

[Verse 2]
C
Oh, I cover up my ears
G
So I cannot hear
D
The voices of hate
C                       G
And the voices of fear
C
And I cover up my eyes
G
So I cannot see
D
What happened to this country
C                       G
That used to be free

[Chorus]
        Em
Let love rule
             C          G
Let it guide us through the night
Em                      C
That we may stay together
D
And keep our spirits calm
G       Em
Only truth
C                       G
Will shine the morning light
Em                      C
'Cause love’s the only thing
D                               G
That will keep us safe from harm

[Verse 3]
C
Oh, you know I love this country
G
Every rock and every tree
Am
The grass lands and the deserts
C               G
The rivers and the sea
Em
Well you know I love the people
C                       G
Wherever they are from
Am
Yes, I love all the people
C                       G
Who call this land their home

[Chorus]
        Em
Let love rule
             C          G
Let it guide us through the night
Em                      C
That we may stay together
D
And keep our spirits calm
G       Em
Only truth
C                       G
Will shine the morning light
Em                      C
'Cause love’s the only thing
D                               G
That will keep us safe from harm
