Standard Tuning OR Capo 1 OR Capo 2 VERSE 1 D A G Met a little girl, yesterday D A F#m She’s so poor, doesn’t even have a name G D But mom and dad, they love her G F#m Just can’t her or her brother D A G Hunger like that, you can’t even pray VERSE 2 Young black man on the streets of Chicago Mom and Dad are wishing he’d come home And he could always see their faces, and he could like an angel, Two shots ran out so, we’ll never know CHORUS D I’m singing for hope G I’m singing for life D A G I’m singing for change, tonight D And you can tell me, that G I’m wasting my time D A D But someone has to keep hope alive VERSE 3 Little boy, living on the prairie Hears a story of when the West was free And he’s too young to think it, but with one less broken promise, He thinks – will the world even miss me? CHORUS BRIDGE A And what can I do, F#m From my lucky side? G A D I can barely write down a song, A F#m But I can take, just one stride, G A Put their hands in mine and hold on CHORUS Repeatx3, end
