Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am][G][Am][G]
[Am]Stan[G]d[Am]
up
We shall not be moved
Except by a child with no [Dm]socks and shoes
[G]If you've got[Am] more to give
than you've [G]got to prove
[Am]Put your hands up and I'll copy you

[Verse 2]
Stand [Am]up
We shall [Em]not be moved
Except [Am]by a woman dying
from a loss of food
[G]If you've got[Am] more to give
than you've got [Em]to prove
[Am]Put your hands up and I'll copy you

[Verse 3]
We [Am]still don't understand thunder
and lightning
Flashback to when we didn't
[G]fund the dam
Didn't [Am]fund the damn levee
No wonder man
Now our whole damn cities
torn [C]us under man
Under[Am]water but we still
don't understand
We see hurricane spills over
[G]run the land
Through gaps [Am]you couldn't fill
with a [C]hundred tons of sand
[Am]No we stil[C]l don't understand
[Am]We've seen planes in the
windows of buildings
Crumbled in
We've seen flames sending
[G]chills through London
And [Am]we've sent planes to kill [Dm]them
And some of them are [Am]children
But still we crumble under [Dm]buildin'
[Am]
Underfunded but we still
don't understand
Under God but we [G]kill like the son of Sam
[Am]But if you feel like I feel
about the [C]son of man
[Am]We will overcome

[Verse 4]
Stand [Am]up
We shall not be moved
Except by a child with no
[G]socks and shoes
If you've [Am]got more to give than you've
[Dm]got [Am]to prove[G][Am]
[C]
[Am]Put your hands up and I'll copy you

[Verse 5]
I said [Am]put your hands up and I'll copy you
Put your hands up and I'll [G]copy you
If you've [Am]got more to give
than you've [Dm]got to prove
[Am]Put your hands up and I'll copy you

[Verse 6]
[Am]We shall not be moved
Except by a child with no socks and shoes
[G]Except by a woman dy [Am]ing
from a loss of food
Except by a [Eaug]freedom fighter
bleeding on the cross [Am]for you

[Verse 7]
We shall not be moved
Except by a system that's rotting through
[G]Neglecting the vic[Am]tims and ordering
the cops to shoot
High treason now we need to prosecute

[Verse 8]
So [Am]stand up (Stand up)
We shall not be moved
And we wont fight a war over [G]fossil fuel
Times [Am]like this that
you want to [C]plot a coup
[Am]Put your hands up and I'll copy you

[Verse 9]
[Am]Stand up (Stand up)
We shall not be moved
Unless we are taking a route
we have [G]not pursued
So [Am]if you've got a [Dm]dream and a lot to do
[Am]Put your hands up and I'll copy you
I said [G]put your hand[Am]s up
and I'll copy you
Put your hands up and I'll copy you
If you've got a dream and a lot to do
Put your hands up

[Verse 10]
Now [G]shake, [Am]shake a Polaroid dream
Nightmare negatives
develop on the screen
We [Dm]sit back and [Am]wait on the
government team
Criticize they but who the f**k are we
The [G]people want [Am]peace
But the leaders want war
Neighbors don't speak peak
through the front door
[Dm]House repres[Am]entatives
preach stay the course
Its time for a leap of faith
Once more
Put your [G]hands up [Am]high if you
haven't imagined
Hope that the pen strokes
higher than the cannon
[Dm]Balls to the [Am]wall nose to the
grindstone
My interrogation techniques
leave ya mind blown
[G]Places your [Am]bets lets peak
to the enemy
Don't let them pretend
that we seek blood
[Dm]And whose we a[Am]nyway kimosabai
Mighty warlord want to be street thug
A [G]threat for a [Am]threat leaves the
whole world terrified
Blow for blow never settles the score
[Dm]Word for w[Am]ord its time to be clarified
We the people did not want
war!
[G][Am][G]

[Verse 11]
[Am]
So stand up (Stand up)
We shall not be moved
Except by a child with no socks and shoes
[G]If you've got[Am] more to give
than you've got to prove
Put your hands up and I'll copy you

[Verse 12]
[Am]Stand up (Stand up)
We shall not be moved
Unless we are taking a route
we have [G]not pursued
So [Am]if you've got a dream and a lot [Dm]to do
[Am]Put your hands up and I'll copy you

[Verse 13]
I said [Am]put your hands up and I'll copy you
Put your hands up and I'll [G]copy you
