[Intro 1]
[G][Gsus4][G]

[Verse 1]
[Eb]She has no fear [Bb]of failure,
she's not [Eb]bent with broken [F]dreams.
For the fu[Eb]ture's just be[Bb]ginning when you're
[Eb]always [C]sev[G]en [Gsus4]teen[G][Gsus4][G]
It was nineteen sixty-one when
when we went [Eb]to Washington;
She [F]put her arms around me and [D]said,
"Camelot's begun."
[Dsus4]We listened

[Verse 2]
[G]to his visions of
[Eb]how our land should be;
We [F]gave him our hearts and minds
to [D]send [Dsus4]across the sea.
Nine[G]teen sixty-three,
white white and [Eb]black upon the land;
[F]She brought me to the monuments
[D]and made [Dsus4]us all join ha[D]nds.

[Verse 3]
[G]And scarcely six months later [Eb]she held
me through the night
When we [F]heard what had happened
in that [D]brutal Dallas light.
Oh, [Eb]she [Bb]is alwa[F]ys se[Dm]venteen;
She has [Eb]a dream that she will lend [Bb]us
and [C]a love that we can bor[Dm]row.

[Verse 4]
There [Eb]is so much joy in[Bb]side her she will
[C]even share [Dm]her sorrow;
She's our [Eb]past, [Bb]our present,
and [C]our promise of tomor[F]row.
Oh, [Dm]truly [C]she's the onl[Bb]y hope I've seen,
and she is [Eb]always [C]sev[G]enteen.
[Gsus4]It was ni[Dm]netee[G]n [Gsus4]sixty-five[G]
and and we [Eb]were marching once more

[Verse 5]
[F]From the burning cities [D]again
st a crazy war.
Memphis, [G]L.A. and Chicago
[Eb]we bled through sixty-eight
Till Till she took [F]me up to Woodstock saying
with [D]love it's not too late.
[G]We started out the seventies
[Eb]living off the land;

[Verse 6]
She was sow[F]ing seeds in Denver trying
to make [D]me un[Dsus4]der stand[D]
That [G]mankind is woman
and [Eb]woman is man,
And un[F]til we free each other we
can[D]not free the land.
[Eb]Oh, she [Bb]is a[F]lways se[Dm]venteen;

[Verse 7]
She has [Eb]a dream that she will lend [Bb]us
and a [C]love that we can bor[Dm]row.
There is so [Eb]much joy in[Bb]side her she
will [C]even share [Dm]her sorrow;
She's [Eb]our past, [Bb]our present,
and [C]our promise of tomor[F]row.
Oh, [Dm]truly [C]she's the onl[Bb]y hope I've seen,
and she is [Eb]always [C]sev[G]enteen.[Gsus4]
[G]

[Verse 8]
[G]Nineteen seventy-two,
I'm I'm at the [Eb]end of my rope,
But she was [F]picketing the
White House chanting,
"The [D]truth's the [Dsus4]only hope[D]."
In [G]nineteen seventy-five when when
[Eb]the crooked king was gone

[Verse 9]
She was [F]feeding starving children
saying [D]the dream must go on.
[Eb]She [Bb]is alwa[F]ys se[Dm]venteen;
She has [Eb]a dream that she will lend [Bb]us
and a [C]love that we can bor[Dm]row.
There is so [Eb]much joy in[Bb]side her she will
[C]even share [Dm]her sorrow;

[Verse 10]
She's our [Eb]past, our [Bb]present,
and our [C]promise of tomor[F]row.
Oh, [D]truly [C]she's the onl[Bb]y hope I've seen,
and she is [Eb]always [C]sev[G]enteen.
