(Now the rythm changes, just hammer on the strings with your open ´hand while playing
chords Am7, F and G)
If you look, you ll see it with your own eyes.
If you listen, you will hear her cries.
If you care, you will stand and testify...
(now the rythm continues normally)
and stop the rape of the world____.
stop the rape of the world____.
: Mother of us all____
Mother of us all____: (play 3 times)
Am7 (let ring)
Mother of us all____ Mother of us all____
PS: Instead of playing G you can use Gsus (sounds good)
I think the chords should be right, nevertheless, if you think that there are any
don t hesitate and write: *
