Crisis Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Gather 'round, girls
Let me tell you about the crisis that is [D]here
At the end I almost [Am]see our final [C]victory
I know that we don't all believe
that it'll be what it'll [D]be
But [Am]a crisis 'tis indeed,
like a boulder [C]gathering speed

[Verse 2]
[G]'Cause if we [Em]fail to act upo[F]n it
[G]Might mean the[Em] chance has been los[F]t
And we will have to wait to win
[D]

[Verse 3]
[C]It's 1916, we're talking
war and [D]battle [Dm]cries[D]
Oh, women [Em]dry [Am]your eyes,
you gotta [C]rise up and fight
You may be troubled and bewildered
and stricken with [D]grief
But you can solve [Am]it,
fix these knotty problems, we try [C]to breathe

[Verse 4]
[G]'Cause if we [Em]fail to act upon it[F]
[G]Might mean the[Em] chance has been los[F]t
And we will have to wait [D]to [G]win

[Verse 5]
[D]
Oh, [Asus4]America,
[Bb]look[Gm] up at that [Em]north star[D]
One [Asus4]day it'll come [Am]down[Gm]
The [Em]time has come to [D]shout aloud
In [Asus4]every city and vil[Gm]lage and town
[Em]The woman's hour has s[D]truck
The wo[Asus4]man's hour is now[Gm]

If [Em]we fail to act upon

[Verse 6]
[F]it
[G]Might mean the[Em] chance has been lost
[F]

[Verse 7]
[D]
There was a [Asus4]man in West
Vir[Gm]ginia[Em]
Someone [D]asked him [Asus4]what
[Gm]he thought
[Em]He said, "We've been keeping [D]women down [Am]so long,
[Gm]it would feel so[Em] queer to [D]not"
[Asus4]If someone [Am]asked [Gm]his wife the same ques[Em]tion,
[D]here's what she'd [Asus4]say
[Gm]"We've been down so lo[Em]ng,
[D]we've gotta sta[Am]y this way[Gm]"
[Em]Therein lies [D]the movement [Am]of those who say,
nay
[Gm][Em]

[Verse 8]
[D]
[Asus4]Oh, America, [Gm]look [G]up
The [Em]star is getting near[D]er
It's [Asus4]time to shout alou[Gm]d to
every[Em]body who can [D]hear us
The [Asus4]woman's hour has s[Gm]truck
The wo[Em]man's hour is [D]now
The [Asus4]woman's hour i[Gm]s here
