[Verse 1]
[C]Her[Cm]e in [G]th[C]e dark[F]
Everything that once [G]was becomes
[F]a tiny s[Dm]park
Looking back [F]from the next cen[Csus4]tury
[F]Wha[Dm]t do [F]they see[Cm]?[F]
[Cm]The [F]names [G]of the

[Verse 2]
girls who laid
the [F]stones[Eb]
[F]Names long forgotten,
[G]never scribbled in the tomes

[C]The[Dm]ir hearts w[F]ere fu[C]ll
[F]

[Verse 3]
[Cm][Bb][Eb]
[Gm]Now the edi[F]fice of
women's [Eb]liberty[F]
[Gm]It is almo[F]st c[Eb]omplete
Pro[F]tected [G]and serene,
the rich women [C]still[Eb]
Hon[Cm]ing t[G]heir malevolent skills[Dm]
Growing bolder in their [F]treachery[Bb]
Selling [Csus4]for free[F][Eb]

[Verse 6]
The [Bb]enemies [Ab]of our cause try

[Verse 7]
[Eb]
Women in [G]the schools
and counting [Cm]houses
In [C]shops and on the [G]farms,
they're all around [Dm]us
They've got [F]babies crying
[Csus4]at their breasts
[C]Sun[Dm] sinks in the[Csus4] west[F][Eb]
[Cm]The veins [F]of these w[G]o men

[Verse 8]
are not
filled [C]with milk [Cm]and water
These are [C]mothers [G]of bold
American [Dm]daughters
But they are not [F]afraid[Csus4][C]
[Dm]They're lying in w[Csus4]ait[F][C][Eb]
[G]Listening for the [F]bugle

But be[F]fore the vote is won
We can't leave [Bb]the fight to the

So we [Cm]go i[F]nto the fray,
shoulders [Bb]bare
Take the [Ab]punches to our [Cm]faces
Feel the [F]fire [Bb]in our bones[Ab]
[Cm]and liberate[Eb][Gm]
