Jesse Jackson

INTRO: C

       C                  F       
He was walking with your brother 
       C         F
on the streets of Alabama
        G               D         
He was marching next to Martin 
      A
when he died
        C                F     
Working face to face in Cuba and 
     C        F
Managua Nicaragua
       G                 D        
He did not yet beat the Devil but 
    A
he tried

        F                    
Hold on brother Jesse Jackson 
            C
there's a better wrold a comin'
       G               D          
Where a man can hope a man'll show
      A7
 some heart
          F                        
You just keep right on believin' in
     C
 the better side of human
           G             D     
They ain't ready for you yet but 
          C
it's a start
        G                 A7      
And you move 'em when you hit 'em 
       D
in the heart

We must bring it all together we 
must start right at the bottom
Back to helping one another when we 
can
'Cause if he's hungry and he's human
 and he's fighting for his freedom
Then he shouldn't be too hard to 
understand

CHORUS (2x)
