Maya Angelou song: Speakout Maya

Capo 3
C, F, G
Verse 1
Growing up in stamps, Arkansas. Woman of color with a tough
grandma. Maya lived with her head in the books. Until Ms. Flowers told
her language is good.
Chorus:
Speak out Maya, Tell us that youre here to stay.
Speak out Maya, tell us bout your struggles today.
Speak out Maya, tell us why the caged bird sings
Speak out Maya, tell us how you rise on you wings
Verse 2
Segregation followed like an unwanted shadow. The signs told her
where she could and could not go. Her academics gained her a
scholarship. A stepping stone in an ascent to greatness.
Chorus
Bridge: C, F, G
Maya did know what life had in store. No one could tell her it was
better than before. She accomplished so much, the list is quite long.
Get comfy, the song goes on.
She was a writer, poet, dance, singer, actress, historian, activist,
editor, won the national award of arts and presidential medal of
freedom, the high civilian honor and so much more that that

Chorus (1 Strum each chord)

End on C
