Cord we will not go down ; A song for Gaza

Am x4



Am                          C

A blinding flash of white light

            G               Am

Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight

   Am                  C

People running for cover

                 G                     Am

Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive



Dm                                        Am

   They came with their tanks and their planes

Dm                       Am

   With ravaging fiery flames

Dm                 F

   And nothing remains

        C                       G

Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze



        F       C

We will not go down

        Am               G

In the night, without a fight

         F                            C   

You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools

        Am                 G

But our spirit will never die

        Am      G

We will not go down

           Am

In Gaza tonight



  Am                 C

Women and children alike

                 G                   Am

Murdered and massacred night after night

             Am                               C

While the so-called leaders of countries afar

   G                       Am

Debated on who’s wrong or right



Dm                                   Am

  But their powerless words were in vain

Dm                                   Am

  And the bombs fell down like acid rain

G                               Am

  But through the tears and the blood and the pain

         C                                  Em

You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze





        F       C

We will not go down

        Am               G

In the night, without a fight

        F                            C   

You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools

        Am                 G

But our spirit will never die

        Am      G

We will not go down

        Am   

In Gaza tonight



        F       C

We will not go down

        Am               G

In the night, without a fight

         F                            C   

You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools

         Am                 G

But our spirit will never die

        F       C

We will not go down

        Am               G

In the night, without a fight

        Am      G

We will not go down

           Am

In Gaza tonight
