Cm Bb Ab Gm
[Verse 1]
The Cmpoets who still had some hope formed a movementBb  
ProAbvoking free progress and no one could stop themGm  
CmFighting with nothing but words as their weaponsBb  
They saw Abwalls as their papers and cans as their pencils
The Gmstreets became part of a beautiful poem of reAbsistance
We the Abbrave will not leave the square we are patient
[Chorus]
We Abcame, we saw, we conquered, Eboh-oh
We Bbbite off the hand of the finger we've been offCmereBbd
We Abcame, we saw, we conquered, Eboh-oh
The Bbpoets of protest won't be forgCmotten
And BbRobin Hood starts laughAbing
[Verse 2]
We Cmstood on the rooftop where everything's startedBb  
AbWatching the leaders begging to stop itGm  
The Cmoutcome much better than we had expectedBb  
The Abhouses rebuild and the bridges repaired
The Gmsystem renewed and the reward for a life in dAbespair
We stood toAbgether as one and smelled spring in the air
