Ab        Fm               Db           Bbm

Everybody gather round and listen to my song,

                       Ab

I've only got one.

           Ab                       Cm

We who are young, should now take a stand,

                   Fm                   Eb11      

Don't run from the burdens of women and men,

            Gb         Db                      

Continue to give, continue to live

             Bbm            Eb

For what you know is right.  

                                  

             Ab                 Cm

Most of your life can be out of sight,

                  Fm                       Eb11        

Withdraw from the darkness and look to the light;

                 Gb            Db              

Where everyone's free, 'least that's the way it's

            Bbm            Eb  

Supposed to be.

            Db      Ab          Abmaj7

And we just keep on keeping on

        Db              Ab  

We just keep on keeping on

     Gb                 Db

Many think that we have blown it

         Bbm7

But they too will soon admit

             Bbm7    Cm7    Eb13      

That there's still a lot of love among us

            Bbm7    Cm7    Eb13

And there's still a lot of faith and warmth and trust.

        Db              Ab

When we keep on keeping on.    

             Ab                  Cm  

Before we dismiss, one thing I insist

                   Fm                   Eb11

When you have your young, remember this song,

                Gb                              

And our world surrounding, its leaps and and bounds,

Db                     Bbm             Eb    

Ups and downs, is reality

                 Ab                        Cm

Teach them to be strong, and when they are grown,

         Fm                            Eb11

They can proudly imply that we were an alright guy,

    Gb                                  Db  

For all the wrong now is right and this nations people united

Bbm            Eb

As one.

            Db      Ab           Abmaj7

And we just keep on keeping on

        Db              Ab

We just keep on keeping on

     Gb                 Db

Many think that we have blown it

         Bbm7

But they too will soon admit

             Bbm7    Cm7    Eb13

That there's still a lot of love among us

            Bbm7    Cm7    Eb13

And there's still a lot of faith and warmth and trust

        Db              Ab

When we keep on keeping on.

Ab

We're gonna move on up y'all.

Keep on keeping on.
