The choir sings the verse as a Dm7 chord followed by Dmadd9, but on guitar you can just use Dm. There are a few different versions out there, I transcribed the chords from this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn19xvfoXvk It has THREE key changes. I am so sorry guitarists. This version is best for piano players. [Intro] Dm [Verse 1]
DmI been walkin' with my face turned to the sun Weight on my shoulders, bullet in my gun
Oh, I got eyes in the back of my head just in case I have to run
I do what I can when I can while I can for my people

N.C.

While the clouds roll back and the Gstars fill the Cnight
[Chorus]
That's Amwhen I'm Cgonna Dmstand up Take my C/Epeople Fwith me Together C/Ewe are Cgoing to a brand new Bbhome AmFar aCcross the Dmriver Can you hear C/Efreedom Fcalling? Calling C/Eme to Canswer Gonna keep on keepin' Bbon I can Amfeel it Cin my Dmbones
