Last [D] night some [G]new thoughts did [D]surround me
When [D] thinking of [E7]herones of [A7]old,
What [D] they fought for does [G] really astound [D]me,
They [G]were so [A7]brave and so [D]bold.

[D]Rise up, [G]sing [E7] out
On [A7]matters that matter to you and [D] me!
[D]Sign up! [G]Get out and [E7] vote
And [A7]we’ll make a difference, you’ll [D]see!

Some [D] brave women [G] in our [D] communities
Refused [D] to be [E7]quiet and [A7]meek
They [D] struggled to [G] gain [D]opportunities
To [G] work and [A7] to vote and to [D] speak.

Our [D] Susan B. [G] Anth’ny and [D] others,
They [D] spoke and [E7] they marched and they [A7] wrote,
Saying [D] women must [G] be treated [D] fairly
And [G] they must be [A7] allowed to [D] vote!

[D]Rise up, [G]sing [E7] out
On [A7]matters that matter to you and [D] me!
[D]Sign up! [G]Get out and [E7] vote
And [A7]we’ll make a difference, you’ll [D]see!

Now [D] many long [G] years have [D] transpired
Since [D] brave women [E7] won us a [A7] voice
They [D] worked and [G]they struggled [D] together,
So [G] we’d have a [A7] vote and a [D] choice.

[D] Rise up, [G] sing [E7] out
On [A7] matters that matter to you and [D] me!
[D] Sign up! [G]Get out and [E7] vote
And [A7] we’ll make a difference, [D] you’ll see!
