[Verse 1]
[G]So [C]I t[G]old[C] hi[G]m that he'[C]d[G]
better [C]shut [G]his[Gm] mout[Bb]h
and do his [F]job like a man
And he [Dm]answered, [G]Listen, Father,
I will nev[C]er [G]kill another.
[C]He [G]thinks he's b[C]etter
[Gm]than [F]his brother [Dm]that died.
[F]What the hel[E]l does he think he's doi[F]ng
To his [Dm]father who brought
him up[G]right?
Take [Dm]your place on the great Man[Gm]dela
As it moves through your
brief moment of [Dm]time
Win or [Bb]lose now, you must [Dm]choose now
[Gm]And if you lose,
you're only losing your
[G]life[F][G][C][G][C]
[G]Tell the [C]jailer [G]not to bother
[C]With [G]his mea[Bb]l of bread and wat[F]er today
He is [Dm]fasting till the killing's [G]over
He's a mar[C]tyr,
[G]he thinks he's a [C]prophet
[G]But he's a [C]coward,
[Gm]he's just [F]playing [Dm]a game
He [E]can't do it, he can[F]'t change
It's been go[Dm]ing on for
10 [D],000 [G]years
Take your [Dm]place on the great Man[Gm]dela
As it moves through your
brief moment [Dm]of time
Win or [Bb]lose now,
you [Dm]must choose now
[Gm]And if you lose,
you're only losing your [G]life[C][G][C]
[G]Tell the [C]people [G]they are safe [C]now
[G]Hunger [Gm]stopped [Bb]him, he lies [F]still in his
[Dm]Death has gagged his accusa[G]tions
We are free [C]now, [G]we can kill [C]now,
[G]we [C]can hate now
Now [F]we can end the world,
we're [E]not guilty
He was [F]crazy,
and it's been [Dm]going [D]on
for 10 ,000 [G]years
[Gm]Take your [Dm]place on
the great [Gm]Man dela
As it moves through your
brief moment [Dm]of time
Win [Bb]or lose now, you m[Dm]ust choose now
An[Gm]d if you lose,
you've only wasted your life
