[Cm] [Bb] [F]
Oh [Gb] let us turn [Gm] our thoughts today [Cm] to Martin [Bb] Luther [F]
King
And recognize that [Bb] there are ties between us
[Eb] All men [Gm] and women [Bb] living on the [Eb] earth
Ties of [Dm] hope and love, [Gm] [Cm] sister and [F] brotherhood
That we [Bb] are bound together in our [Gb] desire to see the [Gm] world become
[F] A place in [Bb] which our children can grow free and strong
[F] [Bb] We are bound together [Eb] by the task that stands [Gm] before us
And the [Bb] road that lies ahead, we [Cm] are bound [Bb] and we [F] are bound
There is a feeling like the [Dm] clenching of a fist
There [Bb] is a hunger in the center of the chest
[Gm] There is a passage through the darkness and the [Cm] mist
And though the body sleeps, the heart will never rest
So let's shed [Bb] a little [Dm] light [Cm] on love
So that we can see
Just [Bb] a little light on [Dm]
[Cm] love
[F] Wanna stand [Cm] it on up
[Bb] Wanna stand [Cm] on up
[Eb] Wanna walk it on down
Wanna shed [Bb] a [F] little light on [Bb] love
[Fm] Can't get [Eb] no light from the bottom [Bb] of me
Don't see me no light, no [Fm] doubt
Don't let [Eb] me know love from the [Bb] TV screen [Cm] Oh no
[Fm] When I open [Eb] my eyes, I wanna drink my [G] fill
From the well [F] on the hill
[Gm] And do you know what time it [Bb] is?
It's a little light [D] on love
[Cm] So that we can see
Just [Bb] a little light on [Dm] love
Just a little [Cm] light on love
Wanna stand it on up
Wanna [Bb] stand [Dm]
[Cm] on up
Wanna walk it on down
Wanna [F] shed a little light on love
[Bb]
Shed a little light on
[C] love
[F] There is a feeling [Cm] like the clenching of a fist
[Bb] There is a hunger in the center of the chest
[Gm]
There is a passage [Cm] through the darkness [Eb] and the mist
And though the body [Cm] sleeps, the heart will never rest
[Gb] Oh let us [Gm] turn our thoughts today
To [Bb] Martin Luther [F] King
And recognize [Bb] that there are ties between us
[Eb] All [Gb] men
[G] [F] living [Bb] [Eb] on the earth
Ties of [Dm] hope and love
[Cm] Sister [Bb] and brotherhood
