[Verse 1]
[Am]Yeah, [Em]yeah
Oooooooh [Am]Ooooh[Em]
[A]Let my [D]people [Em]go
Oooooooh Oooh oh [A]oh[Em]
[A]Let my people go
In the [Am]swamps of New [Em]Orleans
The rain came pouring down
So heavy was the wa[A]ter[Em]
That the [A]walls came [Am]crashing down
Now I [Em]know a survivor
But how the hell you justify
[A]Leaving 100, 000 people
in [Em]water that high
Just [A]struggling for [Am]their lives
[Em]I know there's got to be a
[D]Bet[C]ter way
I know there's [Em]got to be a[G]
[D]Better [C]way
I know there's [Em]got to be a
[D]Bet[C]ter way
And we've got [Em]to find it
(Stand up) we've got to [G]find it
(Or fall down) we've got to [A]find
[Am]it[Em][G][Em][A][G][Em]
[G]
Politi[Em]cians are screaming
They say we've got a reason for war
[B]So many [A]people are dy[Am]ing[G][A]
And we ain't even [Am]sure what for
Is it be[Em]cause he's a Muslim?
Tell me is it democracy or is it the oath
[Am]It's on the news[A] every day[Em]
One paycheck away
And the President's on the golf course
I know there's got to be [A]a
[D]Bet[C]ter way
I know there's [Em]got to [Bm]be a[G]
[D]Bet[C]ter way
I know there's [Em]got to be a
[D]Better [C]way
And we've got [Em]to find it
(You got to stand together) we've got
to [G]find it
(Or we coud [Am]fall apart) we've got
to find [Em]it
Sweet buttered [D]craw dad
[A]Delta bread
Hot pepper [Am]soul that's been sold [Em]out
[D]Lives that were [Em]taken be
[A]fore they found out
What [C]life was [Em]all about[D]
[Em]Started youn[A]g sipping syrup
And it [Am]hurts me to my [Em]soul
The way he drinks away the pain
The [A]world's going to lose him
Another [C]young superher[Em]o
We've got to find it [
[C]I s[Em]ee the children on TV
It's become a sign of the times
Glorifying [A]their bod[Am] ies[Em]
Something just don't feel right
Still we keep pretending
That boys and girls are men
and women
We watch it and we [A]call it enter[G]tainment
And [Em]everything is okay as long as
[Am]somebody's [Em]get ting paid
I know there's got to be a
[D]Better [C]way
I know there's [Em]got to be a
[D]Bet[C]ter way
There's [Em]got to be a
Bet[C]ter way
And we've got [Em]to find it
We've got to [G]find it
We've got to [Am]find [Em]it
