Bob Marley – Get up, stand up   (Album: Burnin’ (1973))

[ Bm,       F#m  |  Bm,      F#m ]        (repeat for song)

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights! 

Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!  (repeat)

Preacher man don't tell me heaven is under the earth

I know you don't know what life is really worth

It's not all that glitter is gold

Half the story has never been told

So now you see the light, ay

You stand up for your right

[Chorus]

Most people think great God will come from the sky

Take away everything, and make everybody feel high

But if you know what life is worth

You would look for yours on earth

And now you see the light

You stand up for your right, yeah

[Chorus]

We're sick and tired of your ism and schism game

Die and go to heaven in Jesus' name, Lord

We know and we understand

Almighty God is a living man

You can fool some people sometimes

But you can't fool all the people all the time

So now we see the light (what you gon' do?)

We going to stand up for our right (yeah, yeah, yeah)

So you'd better

[Chorus] ...   repeat and fade.
