[C] [F] [Em]
[Am] [G] I am happy, [F] I am [Em] happy, I [Am] have a dream, I [G] got a dream, [F] one day, we [Em] gonna work it out,
[Am] one day, we [G] gonna work it out, [F] one day, we [E] gonna work it out, I [Am] have a dream, I [G] got
a dream, [F] one day, we [Em] gonna work it out, [Am] one day, we [G] gonna work it out, [F] one day, we [G] gonna
work it out, I have [Am] a dream, I [G] got a dream, [F] that one day, [Em] that one day, [Am] that one day,
I'm gonna [G] look deep within [F] myself, I [Em] gotta find the way, I [Am] have a dream, my [G] dream is
to be free, [F] my dream [Em] is to be, my dream [Am] is to be, [G] my dream is to [F] be free.
[G] In search [Am] of brighter days, I ride [Em] through the maze of [F] madness, struggle is my address
with pain and [Am] crackness, gunshots [G] coming from sounds of [F] blackness, giving this [Em] game with
no time to [Am] practice, born on a [G] blacklist, sold on [F] below average, a life [E] with no cabbage,
[Am] that's no money if you from [G] where I'm from, funny, [F] I just want some [Em] of your sun, [Am] dark clouds
seem to [G] follow me, alcohol [F] that my pops swallowed bottled me, no [Am] apology, I walk with a bow
[A] on my shoulder, it's a [F] cold war, I'm a [G] coldest soldier, hold [Am] the same fight that made [G] Martin
Luther the king, [F] I ain't using it for the [A] right thing, in [Am] between lean and the [G] fiends,
hustle and the [F] schemes, I put together pieces [G] of a dream, I [Am] have a dream, I [A] got a dream,
[F] one day, [Em] we're gonna work it out, [Am] one day, [A] we're gonna work it out, [F] one day, [E] we're gonna
work it out, I [Am] have a dream, I [G] got a dream, [C] one day, [G] we're gonna work it out, [Am] one day,
[Em] we're gonna work it out, [F] one day, [Em] we're gonna work it out, I have [Am] a dream, I [G] got a dream,
[F] that one day, [Em] one day, [Am] that one day, I'm gonna [G] look deeper than [F] myself, I [Em] got a lot of wealth,
I [Am] have a dream, my [G] dream is to be free, [F] my [E] dream is to be, my [Am] dream is to be, [G] my dream
is to [F] be free, [Em]
[Am] the world see me looking [G] in the mirror, [F] images of me, getting [E] much clearer,
this [Am] self, I wrote a letter [Em] just to better my soul, [F] if I don't express [Em] it then forever
I hold [Am] inside, I'm from a side [G] where we out of control, [F] rap music and the hood [E] play the fatherly role,
[Am] my story like [G] yours, yo gotta be told, [F] trying to make it from a gangster [Em] to a galio role,
red scrolls, the stone [G] slaves, the Jewish people [F] in cold case, hate [Bm] has no color or age, [Am] flip the page,
now [G] my race, with aim, [F] freedom, write dreams in the dark, [G] they far but I can see [Am] them, I believe in heaven [G] more than hell,
blessings [F] more than jail, in the ghetto [G] let love prevail, [Am] with a story to [A] tell, for I see the [F] glory and well,
the world [B] wait for me [Am] to get out of jail, I have a dream, I [A] got a dream, [F] one day, we [Em] gonna work it out,
[Am] one day, we [A] gonna work it out, [F] one day, we [E] gonna work it out, I [Am] have a dream, I [G] got a dream, [C] one day,
we [Em] gonna work it out, [Am] one day, we [G] gonna work it out, [F] one day, we [Em] gonna work it out, I [Am] have a dream,
I [G] got a dream, [F] one [Em] day, [Am] I'm [G] gonna look deeper than [F] myself, I [Em] got to find a way,
[Am] [G] one [F] day, [Em]
[Am] this nation [G] will rise up, [F] live up to [Am] the meaning of the [G] truth,
[F] we all need [E] to be self [A] evident, [G] that all men [F] are created equal, [E]
[Am] [G] [F] [E]
[Am] [Em] [C] [Em]
[Am] [Ab] free at last,
