_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [G] _ I [Db] was eight _ [Dm] _ years old.
[F] _
My mother played for [Bb] me the records of [Fm] Marian Anderson, the Black [G] Contralto.
_ [Am] I was in love with her music.
_ [D] _ [Em] I had [G] my first chance to sing this next [Am] song in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963. _ _ _
[G] I was down [C] there like a lot of [Dm] northern folks,
_ visiting [Em] _ and marching [Dm] and praying and singing Dr.
Martin [F] Luther King and his people.
[C] _ As they [D] really walked, [G] Paul was the great [C] and glorious [Dm] dignity of nonviolence
[Em] and walked _ [Gb] and sang and demanded [G] _
their freedom.
[Dm] _ Dr.
King [G] said, if you stand and walk tall, a man can't ride your [C] back when you stand [Gm] tall.
_ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ I went [F] to church _ _ in the evening _ [D] _
_ and the preacher was [C] young, [Fm] a young [Em] black preacher.
His [Am] sermon was called, Singing at [D] Midnight.
_ [C] The [G] theme was, [C]
the white folks will see [F] us, they'll see our [C]
joy, they'll see what we're [G] doing,
and they'll [C] simply come and join us [Dm] in this movement _
because they [C] realize that's the only place [Gm] on earth to [C] be right now.
_ _ That's exactly [F] what happened.
_ [C] _ _ _ Then, _ _ that day, children, [Dm]
all black school [Am] children from all over the city,
[D] filled the streets, they [G] left the schools, and they [Dm] filled the streets, and they filled the churches.
[G] Then they left the churches [Bbm] and filled the [G] paddy [C] wagons, and then they filled the [Gm] jails [Bb] in civil _ [A] [G] disobedience.
_ _ _ [A] When I was in that [Dm] church, I was asked up to [F] sing the song,
[Bb] and I decided this [D] was the most appropriate one.
[Em] I think it called all the way [A] back to Marian Anderson [Dm] when I was eight years [G] old.
Let us [C] break bread together on our knees. _ _
Let _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ us [C] _ _ break [Dm] _
bread _ [Em] together _ _ [Dm] _
on _ [C] our _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [C] _ knees. _ _
[G] Let [C] us _ _ [Dm] break _ bread [Em] together _ _ [D]

When I [C] _ fall [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [Dbm] _ [G] _ _ _
with [Dm] my face to the _ rising [D] _ _ sun, _ _
Oh, [G] _ _ Lord, [Am] have _ _ [Dm] _ mercy _ [G] _ _
on [C] _ _ me.
[F] _ _
[Dm] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
Let [C] us drink _ _ [Em] _
wine together _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G]
on _ [C] _ our knees.
[G] Let _ us [C] drink _ _ [Dm] _

[D] _ _ [G] on our [Dm] knees.
