🎶 Stand up

Intro
[Eb]
Verse 1
[Eb]I been walkin' with my face turned to the sun

Weight on my shoulders, bullet in my gun

Oh, I got eyes in the back of
my head just in case I have to run

I do what I can when I can while I can for my people
While the clouds roll back
and the [Db]stars fill the [A#]night

Chorus
That's [Bb]when I'm [A#]gonna [Eb]stand up
Take my [C/E]people [Em]with me
Together [C/E]we are [A#]going to a brand new [B#]home
[Bb]Far [A#]across the [Eb]river
Can you hear [C/E]freedom [Em]calling?
Calling [C/E]me to [A#]answer
Gonna keep on keepin' [B#]on
I can [Bb]feel it [A#]in my [Eb]bones

[Eb]
Verse 2
[Eb]Early in the mornin' before the sun begins to shine

Gonna start movin' towards that separating line
I'm wading [Eb]through muddy [F/C]waters, you know
I got a made-up [G/B]mind [B#] [Bb] [A#]
And I don't [Eb]mind if I lose any
blood on the way to salvation
And I'll [Eb]fight with the [Em]
strength that I [Db]got [G/B]until I [A#]die [C/Bb]

Chorus 2
[Am7]So I'm [Eb]gonna stand up
Take my [C/E]people [Em]with me
Together we are [A#]going to a brand new [B#]home
[Bb]Far [A#]across the [Eb]river
Can you hear [C/E]freedom [Em]calling?
Calling me to [A#]answer
Gonna keep on keepin' [B#]on

Bridge
And I [Bbmaj7]know what's [Em]around the bend
Might be [A7]hard to face 'cause I'm [Eb]alone [F/C]
And I [Bbmaj7]just might fail, but Lord [Em]knows I tried
Sure as [A7]stars fill up the [A7][A7aug]sky [G#]

Chorus

[D#]Stand up
Take my [D/F#]people [Db]with me
Together we are [Cb]going to a brand new [A#]home
[Bm7]Far [Cb]across the [D#]river
Can you hear [D/F#]freedom [Db]calling?
Calling me to [Cb]answer
Gonna keep on keepin' [A#]on

Chorus
I'm [C7]gonna [Fbm]stand up
Take my [Eb/G]people [G#m]with me
Together we are [Dm]going to a brand new [E]home
[G]Far [Dm]across the [Fbm]river
Do you hear [Eb/G]freedom [G#m]calling?
Calling me to [Dm]answer
Gonna keep on keepin' [E]on

Chorus
I'm [C#7]gonna [Ab]stand up
Take my [E/G#]people [Bbm]with me
Together we are [D]going to a brand new [Cb]home
[C]Far [D]across the [Ab]river
I hear [E/G#]freedom [Bbm]calling?
Calling me to [D]answer
Gonna keep on keepin' [Cb]on
I can [C]feel it [D]in my [Ab]bones
