[Verse]
Liz Cady FStanton had the signaDmture to A#beat
CSo comFplex and beautiful and Dmyet quite A#neat
CAnd with F99 beside her
DmIt still A#wasn't hard to find her
CHope and Fanger in the ink and Dmon the A#streets
[Chorus]
He has deCprived (he has withheld)
He has usA#urped (he has compelled)
He has deDmnied, and that's not Fright
But when Cstanding side by side
This pattern A#doesn't seem so permanent toFnight
[Verse]
Old Freddie FDouglass had a word or Dmtwo to A#say
CAnd as Foratory goes well Dmhis was A#great
CHe could Fspeak the truth to power
DmHe could A#do it in an hour
CAnd that's Freally not a talent Dmone should A#waste
[Chorus]
They have deCprived (they have withheld)
They have usA#urped (they have compelled)
They have deDmnied, and that's not Fright
But when Cstanding side by side
This pattern A#doesn't seem so permanent toFnight
[Bridge]
   FSo take me to Seneca Falls
   AAnd let me drown in it all
Such Dmonerous privilege
Take me and make me A#sing
Come on baby make me Fsing

We've got a Flittle bit of time
And I'm asAhamed to let mine slip away
Into the Dmlistlessness and apathy and A#boredom that's engulfing everyFthing
   FSo take me to Seneca Falls
   AAnd let me drown in it all
Such Dmonerous privilege
Take me and make me A#sing
Come on baby make me Fsing

[Intro]

F A Dm A# A#

()

[Verse]

F Dm A#

Liz Cady Stanton had the signature to beat

C F Dm A#

So complex and beautiful and yet quite neat

C F

And with 99 beside her

Dm A#

It still wasn't hard to find her

C F Dm A#

Hope and anger in the ink and on the streets

[Chorus]

He has deprived (he has withheld)

He has usurped (he has compelled)

Dm F

He has denied, and that's not right

But when standing side by side

A# F

This pattern doesn't seem so permanent tonight

[Verse]

F Dm A#

Old Freddie Douglass had a word or two to say

C F Dm A#

And as oratory goes well his was great

C F

He could speak the truth to power

Dm A#

He could do it in an hour

C F Dm A#

And that's really not a talent one should waste

[Chorus]

They have deprived (they have withheld)

They have usurped (they have compelled)

Dm F

They have denied, and that's not right

But when standing side by side

A# F

This pattern doesn't seem so permanent tonight

[Bridge]

So take me to Seneca Falls

And let me drown in it all

Such onerous privilege

Take me and make me sing

Come on baby make me sing

[Solo]

[Bridge]

We've got a little bit of time

And I'm ashamed to let mine slip away

Dm A# F

Into the listlessness and apathy and boredom that's engulfing everything

So take me to Seneca Falls

And let me drown in it all

Such onerous privilege

Take me and make me sing

Come on baby make me sing
