[Verse 1]

          A                                 D

I want to say to my sisters and my brothers Keep the faith

         A                                  E

When the storm flies and the wind blows, Go on at a steady pace

         A

When the battle is fought and the victory's won

       D

We can all shout together, we have overcome

      A                  D

We'll talk to the Father and the Son

D                               A

When we make it to the promised land

 

[Chorus]

   A

If we walk together, little children

D

We won't ever have to worry

A

Through this world of trouble

             E

We've got to love one another

       A

Let us take our fellow man by the hand

D

Try to help him to understand

       A               D

We can all be together Forever and ever

D                               A

When we make it to the promised land

 

[Verse 2]

A                              D

Our bible reads, Thou shalt not be afraid

       A                       E

Of the terror by night, Or the arrow that flies by day

A                           D

Nor for the pestilence That walketh in the dark

A                             D                      A

Nor for the destruction  That waiteth in the noonday hour

 

[Chorus]

   A

If we walk together, little children

D

We won't ever have to worry

A

Through this world of trouble

             E

We've got to love one another

       A

Let us take our fellow man by the hand

D

Try to help him to understand

       A               D

We can all be together Forever and ever

D                               A

When we make it to the promised land

 

[Verse 3]

 

A                                  D

This world is not our home  We are only passing through

    A                    E

Our trail is all made up Way beyond the blue

       A

Let us do the very best that we can

D

While we're travelin' through this land

A                      D

We can all be together Shaking a hand

D                                A

When we make it to the promised land

 

A

When we make it to the promised land children

D

Make it to the promised land children

A

Make it to the promised land children

E

Make it to the promised land

A

When we make it to the promised land sisters

D

Make it to the promised land children

A                           D

We can all be together, forever and ever

D                               A

When we make it to the promised land
