[Verse 1]
[D]Write this num[A]ber down,
[Bm]you can call it anyt[G]ime
[D]We [A]hav[D]e been waiting for t[A]he day[Bm]
that you would finally drop [D]the dime[A]
[D]I[A][Bm][F#][Bm][G][Bm][D][A]
[D]praise the [A]ones
[Bm]who persevere in seeking [G]justice through [D]the law.[A]
I [D]caution there [A]were those who felt
aban[Bm]doned and betrayed
By [G]what they [D]saw.[A]
Some [D]stood in halls of si[F#]lence,
With [Bm]icy hints of [G]violence
When [D]they did seek [A]justice
through [Bm]the law.[G][D][A]
I'm [D]witness to the com[A]mons and the in
[Bm]stitutions [G]of the People's [D]rule[A]
The par[D]ents take their kid[A]s
to local park[Bm]s
And then their kid[G]s
head off [D]to school[A]
[D]You might see [F#]the same old story
[Bm]Greed and [G]profit's allegory
[D]I see kid[A]s who go to sch[Bm]ool.[G]
[D][A][Bm][F#][G]

[Verse 2]
[D]
[A]
[D]A vote for one, a vote [F#]for all
A right [Bm]to silence, one fr[G]ee call
[Em]You'll need a warrant [A]for that
[Em]No, she won't sit [A]in the back,
And [F#]yes, we're still abolishing
all [C#m]slavery[A][E]
[B]
Every kind of [C#m]slavery

[Interlude 1]
[A][E][B][C#m][A][E]
[F#]

[Verse 3]
So [D]write this number [A]down [Bm]and know you
won't [G]slip through [D]the cracks.[A]
[D]Look over you[A]r shoulder,
there's [Bm]millions of us [G]there to get your [D]back[A]s.
[D]You can play a cru[F#]cial part,
[Bm]Carry justice [G]in your heart,
[D]And we'll be the[A]re to get
your [Bm]backs.[G]
[D]Welcome to this [A]land and yes [Bm]we still have
all those [G]marble steps [D]to climb,[A]
But [D]write this number [A]down,
[Bm]because it's growi[G]ng all the time.[D]
