Intro: F# E Bsus2 E (x6)
F# E Bsus2 E
The great flood of tears that we've cried
F# E Bsus2 E
for our brothers and sisters who've died
F# E Bsus2 E F#
Over four hundred years has washed away our fears
E Bsus2 E F# E Bsus2 E
And strengthened our pride now we turn back the tide
F# E Bsus2 E
We will no longer hear your command
F# E Bsus2 E
We will seize the control from your hand
F# E Bsus2 E F#
We will fan the flame of our anger and pain
E Bsus2 E F# E Bsus2 E
And you'll feel the shame for what you do in gods name
(Chorus:)
F# E Bsus2 E
We will fight for the right to be free
F# E Bsus2 E
And we will build our own society
F# E Bsus2 E F# E Bsus2 E
And we -- will sing, we will sing, we will sing our own song
(Interlude: F# E Bsus2 E (x4))
F# E Bsus2 E
When the ancient drum rhythms ring,
F# E Bsus2 E
the voice of our forefathers sing
F# E Bsus2 E F#
Forward Africa run, our day of freedom has come
E Bsus2 E F# E Bsus2 E
For me and for you, Amandla Awethu
(Chorus:) (x5)
F# E Bsus2 E
We will fight for the right to be free
F# E Bsus2 E
And we will build our own society
F# E Bsus2 E F# E Bsus2 E
And we -- will sing, we will sing, we will sing our own song
