PROGRESSIVE SONG PROJECT 3 – No social discrimination

 A-D-E
I once knew a guy
Who stood up for social justice and human rights
He moved from town to town

A-D-E
Sounding out to the world
There should be no social discrimination to be found – 2

A-D-E-Bm-E
He came from a modest background
But he was social reformer
He was a social builder and changer
Fought hard every day and night
To set things right
Took by heart what we need to change

Sounding out to the world
There should be no social discrimination to be found – 2

A-D-E

It was a misfortune
He had to die a way too young
A way too young

Sounding out to the world
There should be no social discrimination to be found – 2

A-D-E-Bm-E
Its been several years
Since he has been gone
His fight for no social discrimination to be found
Still carries on, still goes on

Sounding out to the world
There should be no social discrimination to be found – 2

PROGRESSIVE SONG PROJECT 2 – Up on the hill

PROGRESSIVE SONG PROJECT 2

12/08/2018 – 13/08/2018 (KP)

Up on the hill

E-A-Bm-E

Up on the hill
From where the mountains can be seen
Lives a farmer with his dream

E-A-Bm-E

Up on the hill
From where the mountains can be seen
Lives a farmer with a free will

E-A-Bm-E

He had a son
Who wanted a life upfront
He came down to the city
Paid a ransom to be free
Free from poverty
For a better life, for prosperity

E-A-Bm-E

Up on the hill
Since he has been gone
The farmer has been waiting for his son
Holding on to his dream
Holding on to his free will

E-A-Bm-E

One day the son came back
But the farmer had never been so sad
As the son came back in a casket
Never to live up to the farmer’s dream

E-A-Bm-E

Up on the hill
From where the mountains can be seen
The farmer still lives
But now he has no dreams
He has let go of his free will

E-A-Bm-E

Up on the hill
From where the mountains can be seen
Lived a farmer with his dream
Up on the hill
From where the mountains can be seen
Once lived a farmer with a free will

E-A-Bm-E

Up on the hill. Upon the hill
Up on the hill, Upon the hill
