_ _ _ _ _ _ Thank you. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ You know, something I always say to _ our [Eb] audiences is that [Ab] way back in the 1960s there was a lot [E] of troubles going on with civil rights. _
_ _ Particularly in Liverpool. _ _
_ _ [F] And we would notice this on the news back in [Eb] England.
_ _ [Db] So it was like a really important place for us [Ab] because this is, to me, [N] where civil rights started. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] We would see what was [E] going on and sympathise with people going through the struggles.
And it made [C] me want to write a song that if it [D] ever got back to the people going through those struggles, it might just help them a little bit.
That's the struggle. _ _ _

[G] you've been [A] waiting for this moment [G] to be free.

_ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ _ or [Gm] white, _ [A] _ you divide the black [G] eyes _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ in the [G] middle of night.
_ _ [Db] Take the [D] smoke and wings, learn to fly.
_ _ All your [C] life, [Cm] _ _ _ [G] you've been [A] waiting for this moment [G] to rise.
_ [D] Black or _ [Gm] _ _ _ [C] _ _

_ _ [C] Take the [D] smoke and eyes, [C] learn to see.
[D] _ _ [G] All your [C] life, _ [Cm] _ _ _ [G] you've been waiting [A] for this moment [G] to be free.
You are [A] only waiting [G] for this moment to be free. _
You [A] are only waiting [D] for this moment [G] to be free.
