A song called The [Db] Power and the Glory.
[Ebm]
[Bb] Come on and take a walk with me through this green and growing land.
Walk through the deserts and the mountains [Ebm] and the sand.
Walk through the valleys and the rivers and the [Gb] plains.
Walk through the sun [Ab] and walk through the [Bbm] rain.
For here is a land [Fm] full of power and [Bbm] glory.
Beauty that words [Ab] cannot recall.
[Db] Oh, her power shall [Fm] rest in the strength of her freedom.
Her [Bb]
glory shall rest [Ab] on us all.
[Db] From Kansas, [Ab] from [Bb] Colorado, [Ab] Kansas and the Carolinas too.
Virginia [Bb] to [Ab] Alaska, from the old to [Ebm] the new.

Oh, [Db] her power shall [Fm] rest in the strength of her [Bbm] freedom.
Her glory shall rest [Ab] on us all.

and twist away our faith.
Law is their weapon, treason is their pride.
