    D-A-E7        A      E7
    All over this land.  Oh, oh . . .

                 A                          E7
    And I have a song to sing all over this land.
                       A     -A7                 D      D7
    It's the hammer of justice, it's the bell of freedom,
                          D      A        D               A
    It's a song about the love between my brothers and my sisters
    D-A-E7        A
    All over this land.
