Em
She walks past the soldiers out in the street
Am                                     Em
Stays to the side with her eyes on her feet
Em
She hardly makes a whisper, just barely a word
Am                    B7
And this was all the baby heard

Em
Be still Moses, don't make a sound
Am                           Em
Be still Moses, don't make a sound
Em
Be still Moses, don't make a sound
B              Em
Keep your head down

Em
Lying on the bank where the cool water flows
Am                                            Em
A baby's crying for a mother that he'll never know
Em
She says the pharaoh wants you to die
Am                                 B7
So I'm leaving you here if you're gonna survive

Em
Be still Moses, don't make a sound
Am                           Em
Be still Moses, don't make a sound
Em
Be still Moses, don't make a sound
B              Em
Keep your head down

 

Em
You're gonna be there when he parts the tide
Am                                    Em
And leads all the people to the other side
Em
Climb that mountain by the lord's goodwill
Am                     B7
But right now boy you better be still

Repeat (3 times)
Em
Be still Moses, don't make a sound
Am                           Em
Be still Moses, don't make a sound
Em
Be still Moses, don't make a sound
B              Em
Keep your head down
