[Chorus]
C                 D                Em
      Please God, show 'em the way
C           D           Em
Please God, on this day
G C           D                  Em
  Spirits all given the strength
C                     D              C
Peace can come if you really want it
 
 
[Verse 1]
                D               Em
I had a fragile dream in a gray house in the Hamptons
C                D             Em                       D
I'd been there before, singing songs and doing benefits
    C          D    Em
Was in a room alone putting on my makeup
     C                        D          C
Like so many things that come to me, the dress came across the Persian carpet
 
     D             Em                       C
As I fell into the dress, a thought came to me
D       Em              C
Into my heart, I have a dream
D            Em
  And a door opened
  C                  D
I turned to face the music
 
C                              D  Em
  I was ready for the Kennedys
  C                    D    Em
I don't know if it was 1960   or 1963
C                D       Em
  Everything was timeless, even me
         C             D            Em
I wasn't old, I wasn't young, I was just part of their dream
 
  C                     D              C
A shadow walked with me down the hall, it was Martin Luther King
       D             Em
All in shadow, all before me, overwhelmed by
C       D        Em
Destiny, someone said, "Sing us a song
          C     D                 Em
There's a piano"  and handed me a drink
             C            D              C             D C
The room was full of hope,  a song would set them free
 
 
[Chorus]
C                 D                Em
      Please God, show 'em the way
C           D           Em
Please God, on this day
G C           D                  Em
  Spirits all given the strength
C                     D              C
Peace can come if you really want it
 
 
[Verse 2]
                D   Em
I sat at the piano, stared out of the shadows
C                  D        Em
I sang the words, "I have a dream"
          C             D              Em
He wasn't my old friend John, I didn't know him then
       C         D   C
But he smiled at me,   and I sang these words
 
         D
Whatever it takes
Em                   C       D
Whatever it takes to be free
Em                   C        D
   No, I didn't know these men
Em               C  D  C
   But they knew me
 
 
[Verse 3]
C               D    Em
It was all symbolic, nothing was as it seemed
C               D              Em                            Bm   C
  They all left us in a single shot but they didn't take the dream
          D             Em
They were there in that house, discussing the future
    C            D            C
And drinking champagne, I was just a piano player
 
          D              Em
The voice, part of their dream
             C        D              Em
I was thirty-five and maybe I was fifteen
       C            D            Em                        C
It was just another night in the presence of Martin Luther King
D            C                            D       Em
I was just a dreamer; I was ready for the Kennedys
 
 
[Chorus]
Em
And I said
C                 D                Em
      Please God, show 'em the way
C           D           Em
Please God, on this day
          C              D
Light the fire, start it over
 
         Em
Tell the world about the dream
C               D           C
Start it up and make it real
 
[Solo]
| D Am | Am G |
 
C          Em    D    Am          G
Please God       show him the way
C          Em    D        Am      G
Please God       show her the way
C          Em    D         Am     G
Please God       show them the way
C
Please God
 
 
[Verse 4]
C                D              Em
Back in the room where it all began
                  C     D         Em  Bm
My heart began to heal, I believe it
C              D                 Em
I remember the beauty of the Hamptons
                C
Shadows playing in the sun
 
D         C
  A voice said, "The dream is not over, no
              D         Em
The dream has just begun"
                 C              D
I spun around to see another shadow
Em
Slipping through the door
 
    C              D      Em
And my eyes opened wide, "What is this all for?"
        C             D                C
And the shadow said, "Don't forget it, don't forget
                      D    Em
What we were fighting for, don't forget it"
 
 
[Chorus]
Em
And I said
C           D                Em
Please God, show 'em the way
                   C
(It's just another night)
C           D           Em
Please God, on this day
               C
(Martin Luther King)
 
            D                 Em
Spirits all given the strength   (Sing us a song)
C                     D           C
Peace can come if you fight for it (Don't forget it)
                         D
Think we're just in time-ime to say
 
 
[Chorus]
 Em
(Ooh, and said, oh said)
C           D               Em
Please God, show 'em the way  (All in shadow)
C           D          Em
Please God, on this day   (All before me)
C           D                 C
Spirits all given the strength
 
                      D           Em
Peace can come if you fight for it
            C            D      Em   C
Think we're just in time to say this
    D        Em   C  D
Set them free
C
Room was full of hope
 
 
[Chorus]
C           D               Em
Please God, show 'em the way   (I believe it)
C           D          Em
Please God, on this day   (Don't forget it)
C           D                 Em
Spirits all given the strength
Em                C     D    C
Don't forget what    we were fighting for
                         D         Em
Think we're just in time-ime to say
 
 
[Outro]
C             D  Em
Peace can come      if you fight for it
C             D  Em
Peace can come      if you try harder
C             D  C
Peace can come,  ooh, if you really want it
C         D  Em
That dream
 
C                           D Em
Don't forget it, please God
          C  D   C
Show them    the way
