[G] Keep on marching, marching, [D] and never forget about the power on the [C] right [G] side,
[D] fights are powered on the [G] left.
[D] We have got [G] to stand [D] together, for get me [Am] east and [G] west.
Oh, [D] there's [A] another voice crying in the ghetto, another mouth that breathes,
another heart beating in the ghetto, another [F#m] soul, and we're marching [D] on.
