Cynthia Erivo - Stand Up Chords

[Intro]
Dm
 
[Verse 1]
Dm
I been walkin' with my face turned to the sun
 
Weight on my shoulders, bullet in my gun
 
Oh, I got eyes in the back of my head just in case I have to run
                                                    N.C.
I do what I can when I can while I can for my people
                                   G              C
While the clouds roll back and the stars fill the night
 
[Chorus]
       Am       C     Dm
That's when I'm gonna stand up
        C/E    F
Take my people with me
         C/E    C                    Bb
Together we are going to a brand new home
Am   C         Dm
Far across the river
             C/E     F
Can you hear freedom calling?
        C/E   C
Calling me to answer
                      Bb
Gonna keep on keepin' on
      Am      C     Dm
I can feel it in my bones
 
Dm
 
[Verse 2]
Dm
Early in the mornin' before the sun begins to shine
 
Gonna start movin' towards that separating line
           Dm                  F/C                        G/B     Bb     Am  C
I'm wading through muddy waters, you know I got a made-up mind
            Dm                                                N.C
And I don't mind if I lose any blood on the way to salvation
         Dm             F               G     G/B   C   C/Bb
And I'll fight with the strength that I got until I die
 
[Chorus 2]
Am7 N.C.      Dm
So  I'm gonna stand up
        C/E    F
Take my people with me
                C                    Bb
Together we are going to a brand new home
Am   C         Dm
Far across the river
             C/E     F
Can you hear freedom calling?
              C
Calling me to answer
                      Bb
Gonna keep on keepin' on
 
[Bridge]
      Bbmaj7           F
And I know what's around the bend
         A7                      Dm    F/C
Might be hard to face 'cause I'm alone
      Bbmaj7                    F
And I just might fail, but Lord knows I tried
        A7                A7 A7aug B
Sure as stars fill up the sky
