About the Song

Keep him singing, keep him singing
Keep that old guitar and banjo ringing
He hears our voice, he sings our song
Keep him singing by singing along

(up 4)  G - C Am / - - D G / - - C Am / - D - G 

I’ll tell you of a man, Pete Seeger is his name
His music and folk singing have earned him much fame
And I’ll tell you a story ‘bout the life that he’s led
The road he has taken, few may dare to tread, so...

C - F C / - - Am D / G - C Am / - - D -

In this land of the free he took many a bold stand
And found himself in prison, from stage and TV banned
But still he never wavered from the course he felt was right
He kept his light shining like a beacon in the night, so

Like a redwood in the forest, he stands so proud and tall
For peace, love, justice, and dignity for all
Now some songs come and go, and some you outgrow
But his songs, like the river, through our lives will ever flow, so

I’ll tell you of a man, Pete Seeger is his name
His music and folk singing have earned him much fame
And I’ll tell you a story ‘bout the life that he’s led
The road he has taken, we all may dare to tread
