SONG FOR GEORGE FLOYD
(lyrics by D. Lees and L. McKinnon. Melody originally from the song 'Joe Hill.' )
(Chords: C //// | F //// | Am // | F // | G //// | G7//// ||)
I dreamed I saw George Floyd last night
Alive as you and me
For though they took the breath from him
I never died, said he
I never died, said he
From Minnesota to Kirkcaldy
we sing all their names
for George is one of many who
died at the hands of hate
died at the hands of hate
Racist coppers killed you George
pinned you to the ground
And when you died, across the world
The voice of justice sounds
The voice of justice sounds
[humming verse]
From New York to Glasgow Green
In every street and square
We take the knee, we stand our ground
Your spirit lingers there
Your spirit lingers there
For George and for
all of the names
rise and heed the call
for there can be no peace until
there’s justice for us all
there’s justice for us all
