Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]When the river of rebellion overflows,
[Bm]I'll be there
[G]When the seed of discontent plants and [Bm]grows,
I'll be there
[C]Watching for the sun through the
[G]dark and [C]rainy storm
Searching for the keys to the
[G]dungeons old [C]and worn
Let me [D]tell [G]you, I'll be [D]there

[Verse 2]
When the [G]shadow of the tyrant
falls and [Bm]sweeps across the land
[G]When men would steal from others
with paper in [Bm]their hand
When [C]people search for answers and the
[G]an swers never [Em]come
When their [C]troubles would be over if they
[G]thought and fought [Em]as one[C]
Let me [D]tell you, I'll be [G]there[C]

[Verse 3]
Whispering of yesterday [Bm]has
grown into a roar
[C]Winds of freedom blowing
out of [Bm]every distant shore
When [Em]the time is ready a[C]nd
the call is loud and clear
[A]Let me tell you, I'l[D]l be there

[Verse 4]
When the [G]thunder of oppression roars and [Bm]crackles,
I'll be there
[G]When those who would be free are wearing [Bm]shackles,
I'll be there
[C]For the day is gonna come when they'll
[G]throw away their [Em]chains
[C]Lift their heads and raise their arms
for the [G]struggle that remain[C]s
And let me [D]tell you, I'll be
[G]there[D][G]
[C]Whispering of yesterday has

[Verse 5]
[Bm]
turned into a [G]roar
[C]Winds of freedom blowing out of
[Bm]every distant shore
[Em]When the time is ready [C]and
the call is loud and clear
[A]Let me tell you, I'll be the[D]re

[Verse 6]
When the [G]thunder of oppression roars and crackles,
[Bm]I'll be there
[G]When those who would be free are wearing shackles,
[Bm]I'll be there
[C]For the day is gonna come when they'll
[G]throw away their [Em]chains
[C]Lift their heads and raise their arms
for the [G]struggle that re[C]mains
And let me [D]tell you[G]
[C]Let me tell you
Let me [G]tell you
[C]Let me tel[D]l you, I'll be there
