Once And For All

There's (Am)change comin' (Dm)once and for (Am)all.

You (Bm7)makes the front (G7)page, and (Bb)man,

you is (C7)major (F)news.

(Am)Tomorrow they'll (Dm)see what we (Am)are.

And (G7)sure as a star, we (Bb)ain't come this far

(Bb)to (Dm)lose!

(Dm)This is the (Gm6)story we (Dm6)needed to (Gm6)write that's been (Dm)kept out of (Gm6)sight,

but no more!

(Dm)In a few (Gm6)hours, by (Dm6)dawn's early (Gm6)light,

we'll be (Dm)ready to (Gm6)fight us a war.

(Fm)This time we're (Bbm6)in it to (Fm6)stay.

(Fm)Talk about (Bbm6)seizing the day!

(Am)Write it in (Dm6)ink or in (Am6)blood,

it's the (Dm6)same either (Am)way.

(A7sus)They're gonna damn well pay!

(Dm)See ol' man (Gm6)Pulitzer (Dm6)snug in his (Gm6)bed,

he don't (Dm)care if we're (Gm6)dead or alive.

(Dm)Three satin (Gm6)pillows are (Dm6)under his (Gm6)head while we're (Dm)beggin' for (Gm6)bread to survive.

(Fm)Joe, you can (Bbm6)stop countin' (Fm6)sheep.

(Fm)We're gonna (Bbm6)sing ya to sleep.

(Am)You got your (Dm6)thugs with their (Am6)sticks and their (Dm6)slugs,

yeah, but (Am)way.

(A7sus)They're gonna damn well pay!

(Am)we got a (Dm6)promise to (Am6)keep.

(Gm7)Once and for all, if they don't mind their manners,

we'll (Eb)bleed 'em.

Bleed 'em.

(Cm7)Once and for all we won't (D7sus)carry no (D7)banners that (Gm)don't spell (D)(Gm)"Freedom!"

(Ab)Fin'lly we'se raisin' the stakes!

(Am7)This time, whatever it (D7)takes!

(Ebmaj7)This time the union awakes, (F)once and for (F6)all!

(Dm)This is for (Gm6)kids shinin' (Dm6)shoes on the (Gm6)street with no (Dm)shoes on their (Gm6)feet ev'ry day.

(Dm)This is for (Gm6)guys sweatin' (Dm6)blood in the (Gm6)shops while the (Dm)bosses and (Gm6)cops look away.

(Fm)I'm seein' (Bbm6)kids standin' (Fm6)tall,

(Fm)glarin' and (Bbm6)rarin' to go.

(Am)Armies of (Dm6)guys who are (Am6)sick of the (Dm6)lies gettin' (Am)ready to (Dm6)rise to the (Am6)call!

(Gm)Once (Cm6)and for all.

and for all.

(Gm)Once (Cm6)and for all.
