i shall overcome Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
New [Am]day dawning,
I wonder what it holds for me
Sun is shining,
don't think that it shine for me
[Dm]I look around,
nothing seems to have changed
This dirty town,
it hasn't somehow re[Am]arranged
[Dm][Am]

[Verse 2]
And I stand up,
but I get knocked straight back down
"Just give it up", they say,
"We just don't want you [Dm]around
Not one of us and we don't
like to share"
Mouthful of dust,
but I'll get [Am]even I swear
[Dm]

[Verse 3]
[Am]
I hear your [F]voice, call my [Dm]name
In [Am]my heart, there's a pouring r[G]ain
And it ain't [Dm]pretty, no it ain't [Esus4]pretty,
no it ain't [E]pretty
But you say, [Am]"Hold on,
hold on, [C]be lieve me
[F]All the plans against you one by one,
will come un[Esus4]done"
[E]I shall overcome
[Am]

[Verse 4]
Through my tears,
I try to see your face
But doubt and fear come calling
And crowd my head with
words of [Dm]hate
I scream out, "Please,
don't leave me hear alone"
Down on my knees, without you,
[Am]without [Dm]hope[Am]

[Verse 5]
I hear your [F]voice, call my [Dm]name
In [Am]my heart, there's a pouring r[G]ain
And it ain't [Dm]pretty, no it ain't [Esus4]pretty,
no [E]it ain't pretty
But you say, [Am]"Hold on,
hold on, be[C]lieve me
[F]Love is here and I won't let you down,
stand your ground"
[Esus4][E]

[Verse 6]
[Am]Hold on, hold on, it's [C]easy
[F]All the plans against you one by one,
will come un[Esus4]done
I [E]know, I shall overcome
[Am][Dm][Am][Dm][Am][Dm][Am]
[Dm][Am]
Just [Dm]in ti[F]me you call my n[Dm]ame
Pull myself [Am]up to fight again,
[G]I'll nev[Dm]er let you[Esus4] down[E]

[Verse 7]
[Am]Hold on, hold on, be[C]lieve me
[F]Love is here and I won't let you down,
stand your [Esus4]ground[E]
[Am]Hold on, hold on, it's [C]easy
[F]All the plans against you one by one,
will come un[Esus4]done[E]

[Outro 1]
I know, I shall overcome
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
