Standard Tuning
No Capo
The entire song is just a I V vi IV progression in C major
C G Am F:||
[C]I'm feeling powerless
[G]I'm feeling hopeless
I see the [Am]world beneath us open to the [F]darkness
I see it [C]everywhere
There's no [G]progress
It's like I'm s[Am]lowly giving into all the [F]madness
[C]I [G]st[Am]and[F] here imperfect right before you
Been searching so long for a way to get through
Swallowed the universe abandoned my youth
I still can't forsake what I feel is true
I was made out of dust by a voice in the wind
To conquer my fears and rise like king
I will always evolve and never give in
I will follow my dreams cause I know I will win
[F]And if you don't take a [C]stand
[G]You won't understand
We will [C]overcome
We will [G]overcome
It's written in the [Am]wind
Set the wheels in [F]motion and rise ag[C]ain
Higher and [G]higher and highe[Am]r
Higher and h[F]igher
[Am]We will over[G]come
My f[C]riend
[C]An[G]d [Am]I w[F]ill not justify what I did
Through the pain sweat and tears I have learned to forgive
So live out your life cause it is a gift
And rise up above; take the whole world with you
I stand here naked this is my truth
Hold on to your innocence and beauty of youth
And don't ever forget the power lies within
Being born ain't a crime you can be what you want to
[F]And if you don't take a [C]stand
[G]You won't understand
We will [C]overcome
We will [G]overcome
It's written in the [Am]wind
Set the wheels in [F]motion and rise ag[C]ain
Higher and [G]higher and highe[Am]r
Higher and h[F]igher
[Am]We will over[G]come

[C]I'm feeling powerless
[G]I'm feeling hopeless
I see the [Am]world beneath us open to the [F]darkness
I see it [C]everywhere
There's no [G]progress
It's like I'm s[Am]lowly giving into all the [F]madness
We will [C]overcome
We will [G]overcome
It's written in the [Am]wind
Set the wheels in [F]motion and rise ag[C]ain
Higher and [G]higher and highe[Am]r
Higher and h[F]igher
[Am]We will over[G]come
My f[C]riend
[C]I'm feeling powerful
I'm feeling [G]hopeful
I see the [Am]world beneath us change to something b[F]eautiful
I see it [C]everywhere
There is [G]progress
If we [Am]unite as one then everything is [F]possible
end on C
