Strumming

There is no strumming pattern for this song yet. Create and get +5 IQ
There are lots of different versions out there, so I tried to put them all
together and distinguish between those.
The song itself is just the 4 accords and pretty easy...
Have fun :)
 
C F Am G through the entire song
 
[Verse]
C                 F
When I get older, I will be stronger
Am                       G
They'll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag
 
[Chorus]
C                 F
When I get older, I will be stronger
Am                       G
They'll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag
C                      F
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
Am                    G
And then it goes back
 
[Verse]
C                 F
Born to a throne, stronger than Rome
Am                 G
But Violent prone, poor people zone
 
C                 F
But it's my home, all I have known
Am                 G
Where I got grown, streets we would roam
C                        F
But out of the darkness, I came the farthest
Am                G
Among the hardest survival
 
C                         F
Learn from these streets, it can be bleak
Am                G
Except no defeat, surrender retreat
C                 F
So we struggling, fighting to eat and
Am           G
We wondering when we'll be free
 
C                     F
So we patiently wait, for that fateful day
Am                 G
It's not far away, so for now we say
 
[Chorus]
 
C                 F
When I get older, I will be stronger
Am                       G
They'll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag
C                      F
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
Am                    G
And then it goes back
 
[Verse]
C             F
So many wars, settling scores
Am                    G
Bringing us promises, leaving us poor
C                 F
I heard them say, love is the way
Am                  G
Love is the answer, that's what they say
 
C                           F
But look how they treat us, make us believers
Am                      G
We fight their battles, then they deceive us
C                  F
Try to control us, they couldn't hold us
Am                              G
Cause we just move forward like Buffalo Soldiers
 
C                  F
But we struggling, fighting to eat
Am                G
And we wondering, when we'll be free
C                     F
So we patiently wait, for that faithful day
Am                 G
It's not far away, but for now we say
 
[Chorus]
C                 F
When I get older, I will be stronger
Am                       G
They'll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag
C                      F
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
Am                    G
And then it goes back, and then it goes…
 
[Chorus]
C                 F
When I get older, I will be stronger

They'll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag
C                      F
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
Am                    G

And then it goes back, and then it goes…
 
[Chorus]

When I get older, I will be stronger
