Is It for Freedom chords

[F#] [F#m]
Rulers of the nations as you fuss [E] and fight
Over who owns this or that and who [F#m] has the right
To design, build, sell, store [E] and fire
All the bombs and guns to defend your [F#] holy [F#m] empire
There are children hungry, children sick [E] and dying
There are mothers, fathers, sisters, [F#] brothers [F#m] crying
They're only pawns in your play of power and [E] corruption
Slowly starve them your new weapon of mass [F#] [F#m] destruction
And prove to me, America, that you [E] care
And [C#] prove to me, America, [F#] you're [F#m] aware
Who's dying for your freedom in [E] this land?
[C#] Who pays the cost for the liberties you [F#] demand?
[F#m]
[E]
[C#]
[F#]
[F#m] Is it for freedom or our comfort and [E] convenience?
Is it to profit for big business we pledge our [F#] allegiance?
[F#m]
Are we prisoners in the land of the brave [E] and the bold?
Held by indifference or hearts grown hard [F#m] and cold?
And prove to me, America, that you [E] care
And [C#] prove to me, America, you're [F#m] aware
Who's dying for your freedom in this [E] land?
Who [C#] pays the cost for the liberties [F#m] you demand?
[E]
[C#]
[F#]
[F#m] Children of the world, you [E] have the right
To sing and dance, run and play, [F#] let your [F#m] dreams take flight
As the innocent die, you rulers [E] carry the shame
And if we stand idly by, we share [F#m] in the blame
And oh, America, do [E] we care
[C#] Oh, America, are [F#m] we aware
Who's dying for our comfort in this [E] land?
Who [C#] pays the cost for the convenience [F#m] we demand?
[E]
[C#]
[F#m]
Children of the world, you have [E] the right
To sing and dance, run and [A] play, [F#m] let your dreams take flight
