[Verse 1]
[D]THE PROMISE OF THIS LAND
Once upon a prom[G]ised land
From [D]sea to shin[G]ing [D]sea
People [F#m]lived [G]by freedoms light
[C#]Folks [Fdim]like you fol[Em]ks like me[A]
And [D]out there in [G]this promised land
[D]Behind every doo[G]r
[D]Any[Bm]one c[G]ould dare to dream
Like [Em]no place else like no[A]ne before
[F]And so we came from eve[Bb]rywhere
[F]Together and alo[Bb]ne[Gm][F]
Searching [Am]for a [Bb]better life
[G]Then the one [C]we had known
And [F]so [Gm]we co[Am]me t[F]onight[Bb]
[F]No [Bb]matte[F]r where we stand[Bbm]
[F]To keep the [Am]promise [Bb]of this la[F]nd[Bb][F][Bb][D]
[Dsus4][Bb]
[Dsus4][C][Dsus4][D][Dsus4][Bb]
[Dsus4]
[D]But out there in this promise[G]d lan[Dsus4]d
[D]Beneath this fairy tal[G]e
[D]Sud[F#m]denly the [G]winds of change
Have [Db]steered [Fdim]a course
bey[Em]ond t[A]he pale
[D]And with this new rea[G]lity
[D]Where nothing's as it see[G]ms
[D]Can our chi[F#m]l dren stil[G]l believe
They'll [Db]fi n[Fdim]d a way
to [Em]reach their [A]dreams
[F]And as we face uncertai[Bb]nty
[F]We hear our fathers cal[Bb]l
[F]We the people sha[Bb]ll unite
[G]Honor bound [C]for one and all
[F]And though we disagr[Bb]ee
Hell it's [F]all part of [Bb]the plan
To [F]reach the promise [Bb]of this
[Bbm]land[F][Bb][F][Bb][D]
Are we all part of the prom[Dsus4]ised land
[Dm]Or is it[Bb] just for some[Dsus4]
[Dm]Our fathers seem to have
said [Dsus4]it right
[C]I t's [Bb]E pluribus unum[Dm][Dsus4]
They [D]fought and they died
Against [Dsus4]tyranny's [Dm]lies
And that's for every[Dsus4]one. Ever[C]yone
With a [Dm]torch burning [D]bright
Till [G]dawns early light
[F]And from the many one[A]
[G]We are one[A]
The [D]promised land the promised land
To the promise of this [Dsus4]land
[D]So we've got to choose hope
Not hate
But faith
I n our better angels
Truth
No, no lies
And [Dsus4]give help[D] to the
hands of strangers
Raise your voice
Clap your hands
Stom[E]p your f[D]eet[Dsus4][D][G][D]
The promised land [E]the promised [D]land
To the promise of this land
There ain't no guarantees
It's up to you and [G]me[D]
To keep the prom[G]ise of [D]this [G]land
