[Capo 3] [Verse 1] C G Bm Em Em D C What have we lost, poisoned, or crushed? C G Bm Em Em D C What highest hopes were stolen from us? C G Bm Em Em D C What holy rolling hills were cut into dust? C G Bm Em Em D C What voices were stifled, silenced, scared and carried off? [Pre-Chorus 1] C G D Do you think we can hide? (no) C G D Put your head in the sand? (no) C G D Do you think we can ride it out? C G D Well some of us can’t [Verse 2] C G Bm Em Em D C Who’s after taking our wages and our trust? C G Bm Em Em D C Our women forsaken, forgotten, and lost C G Bm Em Em D C Our holy rolling hills, our waters, our crops C G Bm Em Em D C Are hid in their bills, pushed through and hushed up and sold off like pawns [Pre-Chorus 2] C G D Do they think they can hide them? (no) C G D Keep our heads in the sand? (no) C G D Do they think they can ride it out for another one? C G D Well we say they can’t [Chorus 1] C G D There is a time (oh) C G D When a change has to come (oh) C G D For you to speak your mind (oh) C D G For you to fight for the land you love [Verse 3] C G Bm Em Em D C When I was a child, I sang the anthem with pride C G Bm Em It stood for justice, for peace, and human rights C G Bm Em Em D C It stood for the holy rolling hills and a home for all walks of life C G Bm Em Em D C And it must again, for my children, and theirs [Pre-Chorus 3] C G D Do you think they can hide? (no) C G D Put their heads in the sand? (no) C G D You think they can ride it out? C G D Well some of em can’t [Chorus 2] C G D Now is the time (oh) C G D When a change has to come (oh) C G D For you to draw a line (oh) C D G And to fight for the land you love
