[Intro]
Am C F F

[Verse 1]
Am       C
I have a voice
        F             
Started out a whisper,
                    Am
 turned into a scream
                 C
Made a beautiful noise
            F
Shoulder to shoulder, 
marching in the street
            Am        
When you're all alone,
        C
 it's a quiet breeze
             F
But when you stand together, 
it's a choir
               Am
Of thunder and rain
      C
Now we have a choice
F
  'Cause I have a voice

[Verse 2]
Am                C
I'm not living to die
      F                    
Don't stand in a wasteland,
                    Am
 look at me in the eye
              C
Stop living a lie
    F
And stand up next to me
              Am          
You've got to put one foot
    C
 in front of the other
       F
With a hand in a hand 
holding on to each other
Am            C
  Go on and rejoicе
F
  'Cause you have a voice

[Chorus]
      F           C
It is loud, it is clеar
     Dm                 Am
It's stronger than your fear
     F             C
It's believing you belong
          Am               G
It's for calling out the wrong
         F
From the silence of my sisters
       C
To the violence of my brother
Am        G
  We can, we can rage
F
 Against the river
         C            Am
Feel the pain of another
G
I have a voice

[Verse 3]
Am       C
I have a voice
              F                
And I let it speak for the ones
                          Am
 who aren't yet running free
             C
It's killing me
         F
No one's saying what
 we need to hear
Am             C
I will not let silence win
    F                      
When I see all the pain our 
            Am
people are in
           C
There's no other choice
F
  'Cause I have a voice

[Chorus]
      F           C
It is loud, it is clеar
     Dm                 Am
It's stronger than your fear
     F             C
It's believing you belong
          Am               G
It's for calling out the wrong
         F
From the mouths of our mothers
       C
To the lips of our daughters
Am        G
  We can, we can dream
F                           
  Like our brothers speaking
 C
 loud like our fathers
Am      G
 We can, we can heal
F
  Can you hear us?
C                 G
  Can you hear us now?

[Bridge]
Am       C
I have a voice
        F             
Started out a whisper,
                    Am
 turned into a scream
                 C
Made a beautiful noise
            F
Shoulder to shoulder, marching in the street
            Am                C
When you're all alone, it's a quiet breeze
             F
But when you stand together, it's a choir
               Am
Of thunder and rain
      C
Now we have a choice
F
  'Cause I have a voice

[Outro]
    Am          C
Now we have a choice
F
  'Cause I have a voice
    Am          C
Now we have a choice
F
  'Cause I have a voice
