And hold on, hold on
C G
Hold onto what you've got
G Em
Sisters and mothers, fathers and brothers
C G C D
Hold onto what you've got
[Verse 2]
G Em
A change is gonna come, Sam Cooke once sang
C G
Oh, lay down that burden of hate
G Em
With cities divided and the homeless crying
C G
Equality for all someday
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C
Keep your loved ones safe, keep your family close
Em D
Keep your children by your side
[Chorus]
G Em
And hold on, hold on
C G
Hold onto what you've got
G Em
Sisters and mothers, fathers and brothers
C G
Hold onto what you've got
[Bridge]
