Fdim Fm
Let us turn our thoughts today
Bm A E
To Martin Luther King
A A/C#
And recognize that there are ties between us
D Fdim F#m
All men and women
E A/C# D
Living on the earth
Bm A E Fm7
Ties of hope and love
Bm7 A E
Sister and brotherhood
A A/C#
That we are bound together
D Fdim F#m
In our desire to see the world become
E A/C# D
A place in which our children
A Bm A E
Can grow free and strong
A A/C#
We are bound together
D Fdim F#m
By the task that stands before us
E A/C# D
And the road that lies ahead
A Bm A E
We are bound and we are bound
F#m7 E/G# A Bbdim Bm A/C# D Fdim
There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist
F#m7 E/G# A Bbdim Bm A/C# D Fdim
There is a hunger in the center of the chest
F#m7 E/G# A Bbdim Bm A/C# D Fdim
There is a passage through the darkness and the mist
F#m7 E/G# A Bbdim Bm A/C# D6
And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest
E A C#m F#m Bm A E
Shed a little light, oh lord

Bm-A-E

So that we can see
A C#m F#m Bm A E
Just a little light, oh lord

Bm-A-E

Wanna stand it on up
A C#m F#m Bm A E
Stand it on up, oh lord

Bm-A-E

Wanna walk it on down
Em D/F# A Bm7
Can't get no light from the dollar bill
Em D/F# A Bm7
Don't give me no light from a tv screen
Em D/F# C F#7
When I open my eyes I wanna drink my fill
Bm7 E
From the well on the hill
F#m7 D6 E
do you know what I mean?
E A C#m F#m Bm A E
Shed a little light, oh lord

Bm-A-E

So that we can see
A C#m F#m Bm A E
Just a little light, oh lord

Bm-A-E

Wanna stand it on up
A C#m F#m Bm A E
Stand it on up, oh lord
