[Verse 1]
[G]Someone
asked [B]a question once
[C]of Martin Luther Kin[G]g
How long do you [A]stay the course
and [Am]dream [Dsus4]the dream?[D][C][G]
But it [B]seems evil’s won
and [C]greed is on the [G]throne
And you feel like the si[D]lenced voice
in [C]a wilderness all [G]alone
How [Am]long? How long?
[C]

[Verse 2]
[Cm]
He said, [G]till justice rolls down like [C]water
Till [G]justice rolls down like [C]water
[G]Justice rolls down [C]like water
And [Am]righteousness [Dsus4]flows
[C]like a mighty stream

[Verse 3]
[G]A little boy abo[B]ut ten years old
Sits [C]watching his [G]TV
He’s alone [A]most every night
till two [Am]or th[D]ree[G]
Though his mama [B]works two jobs
[C]She still can’t make ends meet
[G]He sees the fat cats lie[D] and steal
But they [C]always go scot- [G]free
He says, how [Am]long? How long?
[C]

[Verse 4]
[Cm]
Till that [G]justice rolls down like [C]water
Till [G]justice rolls down [C]like water
Till [G]justice rolls down [C]like water

[Verse 5]
[G]Power, greed, and [B]profit
[C]They will never feed the sou[G]l
These three [A]shovels have dug us
a [Am]deep, dark [Dsus4]hole
[D]Compas[G]sion, understanding[B],
And [C]living one for [G]all
And all for [D]one is what it’s
[C]gonna take for us to break this [G]fall
Oh how [Am]long? How long?
[C]

[Verse 6]

He said, till [G]justice rolls down [C]like water
Till [G]justice rolls down [C]like water
Till [G]justice rolls down [C]like water
And that [Am]righteousness starts flow[Dsus4]ing
[C]like a mighty stream
