BmF#mBmF#mBmF#mEmF#mVerse 1:
BmF#mBm
Brother I've been walking farther
F#m
Than any man has ever been
BmF#m
I got these scars on my feet
EmF#m
And I've got these bruises on my chin
BmF#m
People they all staring in wonder
BmF#m
Some they even laugh at me
BmF#m
They don't know just what I'm seeking
EmF#m
And if they did we would disagree
Chorus:
GD
Lift up your eyes and don't stand still
Bm
People of the world
A
And people of the will
GDAA/BA/CA/D
Move on and on and on down this road
GD
Don't give up and don't give in
BmA
Someday you will be strong again
EmA
But there's still miles to go
Interlude:
BmF#mBmF#mBmF#mEmF#mVerse 2:
BmF#m
Sister let me tell you something
BmF#m
Please don't call this bravery
BmF#m
If you understood my reasons
EmF#m
You'd be here to stand by me
BmF#m
Up ahead: a Chorus singing
BmF#m
In that city set upon that hill
BmF#m
Brother that's where I'm going
EmF#m
And if you want you can join me still
Chorus:
GD
Lift up your eyes and don't stand still
Bm
People of the world
A
And people of the will

Move on and on and on down this road

Don't give up and don't give in
BmA
Someday you will be strong again
EmA
But there's still miles to go

If you need me I'll wait for you, oh I will wait for you, Oh
GF#7G
And when I am gone, I am gone

People of the world
