[Verse 1]
[G]And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous

[Interlude 1]
Someday
[G][C][G][C][G][C][G][C]
[G]I was walking

[Verse 2]
[C]with my bro[G]ther[C]
and he [G]wondered [C]what's on my min[D]d
[C]I said, What I belie[G]ve in my sou[C]l
ain't what I [G]see with my [C]eyes
And we can[Em]'t turn ou[C]r backs this t[D]ime

[Verse 3]
[C]I am a pat[G]riot and[C] I love my countr[G]y
[C]Because my cou[G]ntry is [C]all I know[D]
[C]I want to be with my f[G]amily
[C]people who understa[G]nd me[C]
I've got [Em]nowhere [C]else to [D]go[C]
[G]And the river

[Verse 4]
opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
Someday
[D]And I was t[G]alking

[Verse 5]
[C]with my sis[G]ter
[C]she looked so fin[G]e
I said, [C]Baby, what's on your [D]mind
She said, [C]I want to run like the l[G]ion
[C]released from the cag[G]es
[C]Released from the rag[Em]es
[C]burning in my heart to[D]night,
[C]yea[G]h
[C][D][G]

[Verse 6]
And I [C]ain't no [Em]Communist
[C]and I ain't no Cap[Em]italist
[C]And I ain't no Socia[Em]list
[C]and I ain't no Imper[Em]ialist
[C]And I ain't no Dem[Em]ocrat so[C]
I ain't no Re[Em]publican
[C]I only know one[Em] part[C]y and it is free[Em]dom[C]
I [G]am, I

[Verse 7]
[C]am, I [D]am
I [G]am a [C]patriot and I love my [G]country
[C]Because my cou[G]nty[C]
is all I [D]know
[C]

[Verse 8]
[G]
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
Someday
[C]

[Verse 9]
[G]
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
I want to run like the lion
Released from the cages
Released from the rages
I said what I believe in my
[Em]soul[C][G][Em]
[C]Ain't what I [G]see with my eye
[Em]s[C][G][C][G][C][G][C]
[G]Someday[C][G][C]
[G]Someday[C][G][C][Em]
[C]Som[G]eday[C]
[G]Someday[C]
Someday
