Capo: 2nd fret
[Verse 1]
Am
Have you heard about a people and
their
Dm
occupied homelands
E
They fought alongside allies in the war against Saddam

The liberators of Rojava, those brave women and men
E
Some gave their lives for freedom and
E7
they'd do it all again
[Chorus]
Am C
So I sing today for the YPJ in
G Am
solidarity for those in Kurdistan
Am
There's martyrs there from almost
C
everywhere
G
They come from far and wide to lend a
Am
hand
If only everyone could understand
G
The revolution rests in their loving
Am
hands
[Verse 2]
Am
Those guerrillas fought islamic state
Dm
and all that they stood for
E Am
Put an end to the caliphate a bolt across the door
Dm
And the women's protection unit was the first of its kind
Em
The jihadis ran when they saw ladies
E7
behind the gun sights
[Chorus]
Am C
So I sing today for the YPJ in
G Am
solidarity for those in Kurdistan
Am
There's martyrs there from almost
C
everywhere
G
They come from far and wide to lend a
Am
hand
If only everyone could understand
G
The revolution rests in their loving
Am
hands
[Verse 3]
Am
There's something strange happening,
Dm
Turkey has intervened
E Am
And pushed our freedom fighters right out of Afrin
Dm
The government is sanctioning a pillage by the state
Am E7
and murdering the very people they vow to protect
[Chorus]
Am C
So I sing today for the YPJ in
G Am
solidarity for those in Kurdistan
Am
There's martyrs there from almost
C
everywhere
G
They come from far and wide to lend a
Am
hand
If only everyone could understand
G
The revolution rests in their loving
Am
hands
