[Intro] Dm7

I been walkin'

With my face turned to the Sun

Weight on my shoulders

A bullet in my gun

Oh, I got eyes in the back on my head

Just in case I have to run

I do what I can when

I can while I can for my people
                                     G7            C9
While the clouds roll back and the stars fill the night

[Estribillo] 

        Am7      C9     Dm7
That's when I'm gonna stand up
         C/E    F9
Take my people with me
                 C9
Together we are going
               Bb9
To a brand new home
 Am7   C9      Dm7
Far across the river
               C/E   F9
Can you hear freedom calling?
               C9
Calling me to answer
                      Bb9
Gonna keep on keepin' on
       Am7          Dm7
I can feel it in my bones

[Segunda Parte] 

 Dm7
Early in the mornin'
            C9            Dm7   
Before the Sun begins to shine
Bb9      Dm7
   We're gonna start movin'

Towards that separating line
Am7             Dm7
   I'm wadin' through muddy waters
F/C                          G/B  Bb9  Am7
   You know I got a made up mind
C9             Dm7
  And I don't mind if I lose any blood on the way to salvation
                           F9           G9    G/B    C9  C/Bb
And I'll fight with the strength that I got until I die

And I know what's around the bend
          A7                     Dm7
Might be hard to face 'cause I'm alone
F/C      Bb7M
   And I just might fail
           F9
But Lord knows I tried
          C9   Gm7 E9  A9  F#9  B7
Sure as stars fill up the sky
