[Primeira Parte]

        D              G
I was dreaming in my dreaming
       D                 G
Of an aspect bright and fair
         D                G
And my sleeping, it was broken 
         D                G
But my dream it lingered near
        D               G
In the form of shining valleys 
           D             G
Where the pure air recognised
        D           G
And my senses newly opened
     D             G
I awakened to the cry

[Pré-Refrão]

         F#m              G
That the people have the power
       D               Em
To redeem the work of fools
         F#m               G
Upon the meek the graces shower
         D                A
It's decreed, the people rule

[Refrão]

                D     G
People have the power
                Em      A
People have the power
                D     G
People have the power 
                Em     A
People have the power

[Segunda Parte]

         D               G
Vengeful aspects became suspect
             D            G
And bending low as if to hear
        D                G
And the armies ceased advancing
             D                G
Because the people had their ear
          D                G
And the shepherds and the soldiers 
       D                G
Lay beneath among the stars
            D                 G
Exchanging visions and laying arms
    D            G
To waste in the dust 

[Pré-Refrão]

       F#m              G
In the form of shining valleys 
           D            Em
Where the pure air recognised
        F#m           G
And my senses newly opened 
    D              A
I awakened to the cry 

[Refrão]

                D     G
People have the power
                Em      A
People have the power
                D     G
People have the power 
                Em     A
People have the power

[Terceira Parte]

                D              G
Where there were deserts I saw fountains 
        D              G
Like cream the waters rise 
          D              G
And we strolled there together 
              D             G
With none to laugh or criticise 
         D               G
And the leopard and the lamb 
       D            G
Lay together truly bound 
       D            G
I was hoping in my hoping 
     D                G
To recall what I had found
 
[Pré-Refrão]

       F#m             G
I was dreaming in my dreaming 
      D            Em
God knows a purer view 
     F#m              G
As I lay down to my sleeping 
      D               A
I commit my dream to you

               D        G
The power to dream, to rule 
     Em                    A
To wrestle the world from fools 
         D                G
It's decreed, the people rule 
         Em               A
It's decreed, the people rule  

        D                G
Listen, I believe everything we dream 
     Em                      A
Can come to pass through our union 
 D               G
We can turn the world around 
 Em              A
We can turn the earth's revolution

To wrestle the world from fools 
         D                G
It's decreed, the people rule 
         Em               A
It's decreed, the people rule
