Am
New day dawning, I wonder what it holds for me,
AmDm
Sun is shining, I Don't think that it will shine on me
Dm
I look around, nothing seems to have changed,
DmAm*
This dirty town, it hasn't some how rearranged
Am
And I stand up, but I get knocked straight back down,
AmDm
"Just give it up" they say, "We just don't want you around
Dm
Not one of us, and we don't like to share."
DmAm*
Mouthful of dust, but I'll get even I swear...
(pré-refrão)
AmFGAmG
I hear your voice, call my name, but in my heart, It's still pouring rain,
DmE
And it ain't pretty, no it ain't pretty...
(refrão)
AmC/G
But you say "Hold on, hold on... believe me,
DmE
All the plans against you one by one, will come undone."
EAm
I shall overcome.
VERSE:
Am
Through my tears, I try to see your face,
AmDm
But doubt and fear come calling, and crowd my head with words of hate,
Dm
I scream out please! Don't leave me hear alone,
DmAm*
Down on my knees, without you and without hope...
(pré-refrão)
AmFGAmG
I hear your voice, call my name, but in my heart, It's still pouring rain,
DmE
And it ain't pretty, no it ain't pretty...

EAmC/G
But you say "Hold on, hold on... believe me,
DmE
Love is here and I won't let you down, stand your ground...
AmC/G
Hold on, hold on... It's easy,
DmE
All the plans against you one by one, will come undone."
EAm
I know I shall overcome.

Just in time you call my name, pull myself up, to fight again.
DmE
I'll never let you down...
