             Bm    A    E 
  

            Bm         A 
 Wave your flag high above your head 
        E                    D 
 You deserve to smile, celebrate in style 
       Bm                  A                 E 
 Cause everything that depressed you now is gone 

  
     Bm                       A 
 And eighteen days while the world looked on 
       E                      D 
 You stood your ground, kept holding strong 
 Bm         A                          E 
 Eighteen days while the world looked on 

  
D                           Bm 
 Across the Nile there are stars tonight 
            A                         E 
 And they shine much brighter than before 
D                                   Bm 
 Across the Nile there's peace and love tonight 
          A                         E 
 And it shows much stronger than before 
                       Bm    A    E    D    Bm    A    E 
 Much stronger than before 

  
           Bm             A 
 Free and fair life they said it would be 
   E                 D 
 Cross our fingers, wait and see 
       Bm        A      E 
 And dream of a better day 

        Bm                     A 
 And across the world you've shown them all 
       E                     D 
 That hope and strength can conquer all 
  Bm              A        E 
 Will we stand together again? 
  

D                           Bm 
 Across the Nile there are stars tonight 
            A                         E 
 And they shine much brighter than before 
D                                   Bm 
 Across the Nile there's peace and love tonight 
          A                         E 
 And it shows much stronger than before 
                       Bm    A    E    D    Bm    A    E 
 Much stronger than before 

  
  D                     E 
 Hope and strength can conquer all 
          Bm 
 You've shown the world how the mighty fall 
    A                            E 
 And across the Nile there are stars 
                       A 
 Much brighter than before
