Stand Up Chords by Cynthia Erivo

[Intro]

[Verse]
N.C.          
I been walkin'
N.C.                          
With my face turned to the sun
N.C.                  
Weight on my shoulders
N.C.              
A bullet in my gun
N.C.                                
Oh I got eyes in the back of my head
N.C.                      
Just in case I have to run
N.C.                                                
I do what I can when I can while I can for my people
                                   G7             C    
While the clouds roll back and the stars fill the night
                      Dm      
That's when I'm gonna stand up
               F      
Take my people with me
                C    
Together we are going
               Bb  
To a brand new home


[Chorus]
A              Dm   
Far across the river
                     F      
Can you hear freedom calling
              C     
Calling me to answer
              Bb        
Gonna keep on keepin' on
      A          Dm D7   
I can feel it in my bones
Dm D7 Dm Dm7
■  ■  ■  ■  
             Dm     
Early in the mornin'
                               F
Before the sun begins to shine ■


[Verse]
Dm                      
We're gonna start movin'
             Dm             
Towards that separating line
                         F     
I'm wadin' through muddy waters
                         G    Bb
You know I got a made up mind ■ 
Dm                                                             
■  And I don't mind if I lose any blood on the way to salvation
         F                              G           C  
And I'll fight with the strength that I got until I die
             Dm      
So I'm gonna stand up
               F      
Take my people with me
                C    
Together we are going
               Bb  
To a brand new home
A              Dm   
Far across the river
                     F      
Can you hear freedom calling
              C     
Calling me to answer
              Bb        
Gonna keep on keepin' on


[Chorus]
      Gm7         F              
And I know what's around the bend
         A7                  Dm  C      
Might be hard to face 'cause I'm ■ alone
      Bbmaj7         
And I just might fail
         F            
But Lord knows I tried
                   G      B  
Sure as stars fill up the sky
B       
Stand up
               B      
Take my people with me
                B    
Together we are going
               B   
To a brand new home
               Em   
Far across the river
                     G      
Can you hear freedom calling
              Dm    
Calling me to answer
              C7        
Gonna keep on keepin' on
          F       
I'm gonna stand up
               Ab     
Take my people with me

Together we are going
               Db  
To a brand new home
C          F        
Far across the river
                    Ab     
Do you hear freedom calling
              Eb    
Calling me to answer

Gonna keep on keepin' on

Gbm7 Gbsus4 Gbm7      Gbm          
I    go to  prepare a place for you
Gbm7                           
I go to prepare a place for you
