If It's True Tab uke di Anaïs Mitchell

Am                           F
  If it's true what they say
F                               Em
  If there's nothing to be done
Em                                F
  If it's true that it's too late
F                             Am
  And the girl I love is gone
Am                           F
  If it's true what they say
F                          Em
  Is this how the world is?
  Em               G                                      F    
  To be beaten and betrayed and then be told that nothing changes
F                      Am
  It'll always be like this
          Am             F
  If it's true what they say
  Am      Am    F  
  I'll be on my way
  
  Repeat: Am Am F FF

  (And the boy turned to go)
  ('Cause he thought no one could hear)
  (But everybody knows that walls have ears)
 
                         F
  (And the workers heard him)
          Am             F                         
  If it's true what they say
                     F
  With their hammers swingin'
             Am           Em
  What's the purpose of a man?
                      Em
  And they quit their workin'
          Am            F
  Just to turn his eyes away?
                      F
  When they heard him singin'
          Am                F
  Just to throw up both his hands?
                    Am
  No hammer swingin'
             Am             F
  What's the use of his backbone?
                    F
  No pickaxe ringin'
        Am             Em
  If he never stands upright?
                     Em
  And they stood and listened
        Am                     F
  If he turns his back on everyone?
                  F
  To the poor boy singin'
          F                 Am
  That he could've stood beside
          C              F
  If it's true what they say
  Am      F     Am 
  I'll be on my way
      Am      F       Am 
  But who are they to say
           Em          Am
  What the truth is anyway?
             Am                F
  'Cause the ones who tell the lies
          F            Em
  Are the solemnest to swear
          Em                F
  And the ones who load the dice
         F               Am
  Always say the toss is fair
          Am                F
  And the ones who deal the cards (deal the cards)
          F                 Em
  Are the ones who take the tricks
             Em               F
  With their hands over their hearts
           F                  Am
  While we play the game they fix
          Am                 F
  And the ones who speak the words (speak the words)
         F             Em
  Always say it is the last
         Em             F
  And no answer will be heard
         F               Am          
  To the question no one asks
         Am             F    Am
  So I'm askin' if it's true
        F             Am
  I'm askin' me and you
      
  And you
  And you 
                                                       G
  I believe our answer matters more than anything they say

  We stand and listen
                                                           Em
  I believe if there is still a will then there is still a way

  We're standing with him
                       G   
  I believe there is a way

  I believe in us together
                   Am
  More than anyone alone

  We're standing near him
Am                                                        F                                                          
  I believe that with each other, we are stronger than we know

  We hear him
  F               G                  Am
  I believe we're stronger than they know
                        Am
  I believe that we are many
                          F
  I believe that they are few

  We're standing
                       Em
  And it isn't for the few
              G            Am
  To tell the many what is true

  We understand him
           Am
  So I ask you:
                         F
  If it's true what they say (we're standing)
  Am      Am    F
  I'll be on my way (we're standing)
  Em              G
  Tell me what to do (we're standing)
        
  Is it true?
        G              Em 
  Is it true what they say?
