[Dialogue] Another song

[Phyllis Hockley]

Hi,
Got this note from Kathy Marshall this morning and decided it needed sharing!

Dear Friends and Family,
& its one o'clock in the morning and I can t sleep! Obama won the 
presidency of the United States!!!!

I have a vivid memory when I was in 2nd grade; we were in the school 
auditorium at Leif Erickson, listening to another school's choir. (For 
those of you who don t know, I went to an all black school). One choir sang 
the gospel, "O happy day." I was so touched by that song, I started crying 
and to this day, I get choked up when I hear it and love that they sang it 
in the movie Sister Act! Anyway, I have rewritten the words to it for this 
occasion & hope you enjoy.
(I added the chords for my songwriting buddies).



D G C

O happy day (O happy day)

G E7

O happy day (O happy day)

AM D7

Obama won (Obama won)

AM D

Obama won (Obama won)

AM D

He gave us hope (he gave us hope)

G C

He washed our fears away (O happy day)

G C

O happy day (O happy day)



D G C G

He showed us how to believe in freedom again

C G

Yes we can

D G C G

We believed in change in every way

C G

And overcame today


Love, Peace and Namaste,
Kathy
