G* G Bm*
When the river of rebellion overflows, I'll be there
G* Bm
When the seed of discontent plants and grows, I'll be there
C G Em
Watching for the sun through the dark and rainy storm
C G Em
Searching for the keys to the dungeons old and worn
C D G
Let me tell you, I'll be there
[Verse 2]
G Bm
When the shadow of the tyrant falls and sweeps across the land
G Bm
When men would steal from others with a paper in their hand
C G Em
When people search for answers and the answers never come
C G Em
When their troubles would be over if they thought and fought as one
C D G
Let me tell you, I'll be there
[Chorus]
C Bm
Whispering of yesterday has grown into a roar
C Bm
Winds of freedom blowing out of every distant shore
Em C
When the time is ready and the call is
A
loud and clear
A D
Let me tell you, I'll be there
[Verse 3]
G Bm
When the thunder of opression roars and crackles, I'll be there
G Bm
When those who would be free are wearing shackles, I'll be there
C G Em
For the day is gonna come when they'll throw away their chains
C G Em
Lift their heads and raise their arms for the struggle that remains
C D G
And let me tell you, I'll be there
[Chorus]
C Bm
Whispering of yesterday has grown into a roar

Winds of freedom blowing out of every distant shore
Em C
When the time is ready and the call is
A
loud and clear
A D
Let me tell you, I'll be there
[Verse 4]
G Bm
When the thunder of opression roars and crackles, I'll be there
G Bm
When those who would be free are wearing shackles, I'll be there

For the day is gonna come when they'll throw away their chains
C G Em
Lift their heads and raise their arms for the struggle that remains
C D
And let me tell you
C Em D
Let me tell you

Let me tell you
