 Every man gotta right to decide his own desti-ny,
Am           Gm                   Dm        Bb 
 And in this judgement there is no partiali-ty.
Am         Gm                     Dm                Bb 
 So arm in arms, with arms, we'll fight this little struggle,
Am                Gm                   Dm              Bb

 We come to-gether to overcome the little trou-ble.
