Tom: C

Am                     C
There's got to be some hope
Am                     C
There's got to be some hope
Am                     Dm
There's got to be some way
                          F
For you to send your dogs away
                      Am
And to leave the land alone

[Verse 2]
Am               C
It's got to be a crime
Am                             C
Somewhere in your heart you'll find
Am                     Dm
We're fighting for our right
                   F
to keep our future bright
                        Am    F
And protect the ones we love

[Chorus]
F                                   C
In the river is our sisters and our brothers
F                           C
We are camping out for each other
F                            C
We are stronger when we band together
          G                   Dm
And we're standing up for the water
      F                 Am
Don't poison the future away

[Verse 3]
Am                   C
You've got to have a soul
Am                       C
Mother Earth protects us all
Am                    Dm
If you treat her with disrespect
                           F
Then what message have you left
                            Am    F
For your children and their home

[Chorus]
F                                   C
In the river is our sisters and our brothers
F                           C
We are camping out for each other
F                            C
We are stronger when we band together
          G                   Dm
And we're standing up for the water
      F                 Am    F
Don't poison the future away

[Bridge]
F                                    C
How can you take, take, take and not appreciate the soil
F                          C
Don't let this black snake contaminate our drinking water
F                        C
This is for our sons and daughters

[Chorus]
F                                   C
In the river is our sisters and our brothers
F                           C
We are camping out for each other
F                            C
We are stronger when we band together
          G                   Dm
And we're standing up for the water
      F                 C
Don't poison the future away
