Strum
D-DU-UDU
Streaks of earth matted in her hair
Beaten down but she won't scare
Blinks her eyes battered green and blue
Ignorance can leave an awful bruise
So get up!
Get up!
Come on and get up violet!
Riff that's played after each "get up"

Chords are the same for the next verse and for the vocal harmony section. Sometimes at
the end he changes key after doing the "Get up!" part. I think he just goes up 1 step on
the circle of fifths, it's also fine to just do the chorus again without a key change.
Blade of grass in her aching fist
Sets her jaw no she won't quit
She'll take the fight to streets and avenues
A little dirt can make a flower bloom
