Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
Thank [D]you.
The next song is a song
that I've sung all over the world.
[G]It's known everywhere.
[D]It's a song that I sang all through the
[G]civil rights movement
and against the war in Vietnam.
[D]And when the war in Vietnam was over,
I stopped singing it
because it became a sort of warm
and fuzzy song
and full of [A]nostalgia.
And the song was [D]much too
powerful for that.
I sang it in [G]countries that were full of strife.
I sang it in Poland in a [D]church
where Valencia was hiding out.
[G]I sang i[A]t all over S[D]outh and Latin
America under dictatorships,
always underground.
[G]Places like [D]that and only [G]coun
[D]tries in strife
[G]and then lo and behold
I [D]realized that there are communities
here in the United United States
that still need to have and to sing this song.

We shall [G]overcome,

[G]I t[A]ruly b[Bm]elieve
[Gm]we s[D]hall o[G]verc[D]ome so[A]me day.
[D]Amen, [G]we [A]sha[D]ll live i[G]n peace,[D]
we shall [G]live in [D]peace,
We shall live [A]in [Bm]peace [E]some [A]day.
[G]Oh, [A]in [Bm]my he[G]art[A][D]
[G]I d[A]o believe w[Bm]e sh[D]all [A]live in pe[G]ace[D]
[A]Some [D]day, some [A]day,[D]
deep [Bm]in my[D] h[G]eart[D], I do[G] belie[A]ve
[D]We [G]sha[D]ll ove[D]rcome some day,

overcome, overcome, [G]overcome.
[D]Oh,[G] overcome someda[D]y.
