(Now the rythm changes, just hammer 
on the strings with your open ´hand 
while playing
chords Am7, F and G)


Am7                  Am7
 If you look, you'll see it with 
your own eyes.
F               G
 If you listen, you will hear her 
cries.
Am7           Am7
 If you care, you will stand and 
testify...

(now the rythm continues normally)

F              G
  and stop the rape of the 
world____.
Am7   Am7

F          G
  stop the rape of the world____.

 Am7    Am7
:       Mother of us all____
 F      G
        Mother of us all____: (play 
3 times)

Am7 (let ring)
        Mother of us all____        
 Mother of us all____


PS: Instead of playing G you can use
 Gsus (sounds good)


I think the chords should be right, 
nevertheless, if you think that 
there are any
don't hesitate and write: *
