These Are My People

D

[Verse 1]
             D
These are my people
            G             A           D
This is the land where my forefathers lie
             D
These are my people
   G                 A          Em            A
In brotherhood we're heirs of a creed to live by
  D             F#m            G                D
A creed that proclaims that by loved ones blood stains
           Bm    G
This is my land
        A            D
Oh, and these are my people


[Verse 2]
             D
These are my people
          G           A            D
They were born on and lived by the land
             D
These are my people
          G           A         Em           A
And their cities were raised by hard working hands
          D        F#m               G          D
And their faces do tell that they're holding on well
               Bm    G
To this, their land, yeah
    A            D      E
And these are my people


[Verse 3]
             E
These are my people
              A             B             E
These are the ones who will reach for the stars
             E
These are my people
       A            B             F#m           B
By the light of the earth you can tell they are ours
  E           G#m        A            E
A new step to take and a new day will break
            C#m     A
For this is my land
        B            E      A B E
Oh, and these are my people
             E       A B F#m B
These are my people


[Outro]
  E           G#m        A            E
A new step to take and a new day will break
            C#m     A B
For this is my land
                     E
Oh, and these are my people
   C#m    A B
My people
                    E
These are my people
E
These are my people
E
My people
