[N] [D] [Db] Good morning YouTube, Tyson Green here [Ab] and [G] it's Martin Luther [B] King's birthday today.
[Bb] So I'm [Ab] going to sing Lift [G] Every Voice and Sing.
This is what we call [Gb] the Black National Anthem.
I [G] love this song.
I remember my grandmother [Abm] teaching it to me as a child from [D] the Songs of Zion book.
So here it is, [Ab] Lift Every Voice and Sing.
[D] Lift every [B]
[Bb] voice [B] and sing, till [Bbm] earth and heaven [Gb]
ring.
Ring with [B] the [Bb]
[Gb] harmonies of liberty.
Let [Db] our [Bb] rejoicing [Eb] rise, high as the [Gb] listening skies.
[Db] Let it [Eb] resound loud as [Bb] the [Gb] rolling sea.
Sing [Eb] a [D] song full [Eb] of the faith that the dark past [D] has taught [Gb]
us.
Sing [D] a song full of the hope that the present has [B] brought [Gb] us.
Facing the [Eb]
rising sun of our new [B] day begun.
Let us [Bb] march on till [Bbm]
victory [Abm] [Gb] is won.
Stony [Bb] the road we trod, bitter the [Ab] [Gb] chastening rod.
Felt in [B] the [Bb] days when hope [Gb]
unborn had died.
Yet [D] with [Bb] a steady [Eb] beat, [B] have not our weary [Gb]
feet
come to [Bb] the place [Gb] for which [Ab] our [D] fathers sighed.
[Gb] [D] We [Eb] have come [Ebm] over a way that with tears has been [D] watered.
[Gb] We [D] have come, treading our path through the blood of the [Eb] [B]
slaughtered.
[Ebm] Out from the gloomy [Eb] path, till now we stand [Gb] at last.
Where the white [Eb] gleam [Gb] of our bright [Ab] star [Gb] is cast.
[Ebm] God [Bb] of our weary years, God of [Ebm] our [Ab] silent [Gb]
tears.
[Bbm] Thou who has [B] brought
[Gb] us [Abm] thus [Gb] far on the way.
Thou who [Eb] has by Thy might led [B] us into [Gb] the light.
Keep us [Bb]
forever [Ab] in Thy path,
[Gb] we pray.
[Db]
Lest our [Eb] feet stray from the places, our [Db] God, where we [D] met Thee.
[Gb] [Db] Lest [D] our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we [Bb] forget
[B] [D]
[Db] Thee.
[B]
[Eb] Shadowed beneath Thy hand, [Ebm] may we [Db] forever [Gb] stand.
True [Bb] to our God, [Db]
true to [Bb] our [Dbm]
native land.
