[Verse 1]
N.c. G B7
John Lewis stood on the Pettus Bridge
Em A7
His life he was ready to give
Am D
To break the bonds of tyranny
Am D7
And live a life with dignity
G
Six hundred strong
B7
They marched straight into a sea of blue
Em
Trampled by horses, tear-gassed
A7
Billy clubbed, too
Am
But all this and such
D
Don't amount to much
G C G D7
To a great warrior of love
[Verse 2]
G B7
Rachel Corrie, she laid it on the line
Em A7
When she took her stand for Palestine
Am
The bulldozer rolled
D
She wouldn't budge
Am
She had her feet planted down deep
D7
In that little ol' thing called love
G B7
Though her life ended violently
Em A7
Her gentle spirit's still walking here with you and me
Am D
And she lights up the stars above
G C G
That brave, young, warrior of love
[Chorus]
Am D
Some still among us soldier on
Am D
Some from the flesh now have gone
Am D
But they've paved the very road we're traveling on
G C G D
Our great warriors of love
[Instrumental Break]
G B7 Em A7
Am D7
G C/G G D
[Verse 3]
G B7
Look around you, you will see
Em A7
People still building the beloved community
Am D
In every corner of this earth
Am D7
You'll find people in a fix, willing to risk
An early ride in the hearse
G
Folks who don't bend
B7
We got folks who don't bow
Em
They get right up to Goliath
A7
And shoot their shot somehow
Am D
Now it's on us to be worthy of
G C G
Our great warriors of love
[Chorus]
Am D
Some still among us soldier on
Am D
Some from the flesh now have gone
Am D
But they've paved the very road we're traveling on
G C G D
Our great warriors of love
