intro : F# E Bsus2 E ( x6 )

F# E Bsus2 E
the great flood of tears that we’ve cried
F# E Bsus2 E
for our brothers and sisters who’ve died
F# E Bsus2 E F#
over four hundred years has washed away our fears
E Bsus2 E F# E Bsus2 E
and strengthened our pride now we turn back the tide

F# E Bsus2 E
we will no longer hear your command
F# E Bsus2 E
we will seize the control from your hand
F# E Bsus2 E F#
we will fan the flame of our anger and pain
E Bsus2 E F# E Bsus2 E
and you’ll feel the shame for what you do in gods name

[ chorus : ]
F# E Bsus2 E
we will fight for the right to be free
F# E Bsus2 E
and we will build our own society
F# E Bsus2 E F# E Bsus2 E
and we – – will sing , we will sing , we will sing our own song

[ interlude : F# E Bsus2 E ( x4 ) ]

F# E Bsus2 E
when the ancient drum rhythms ring ,
F# E Bsus2 E
the voice of our forefathers sing
F# E Bsus2 E F#
forward africa run , our day of freedom has come
E Bsus2 E F# E Bsus2 E
for me and for you , amandla awethu

[ chorus : ] [ x5 ]
F# E Bsus2 E
we will fight for the right to be free
F# E Bsus2 E
and we will build our own society
F# E Bsus2 E F# E Bsus2 E
and we – – will sing , we will sing , we will sing our own song
