Song For The Ypj

Am Have you heard about a people and their Dm occupied homelands E They fought alongside allies in the war against Saddam Am Dm The liberators of Rojava, those brave women and men E Some gave their lives for freedom and E7 they'd do it all again 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 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 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 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 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 Am Have you heard about a people and their Dm occupied homelands E They fought alongside allies in the war against Saddam Am Dm The liberators of Rojava, those brave women and men E Some gave their lives for freedom and E7 they'd do it all again
