Hi-o Wy-o -

Here are the chords shown in the Rise Up Singing songbook:

D - G D / A - D A / D - G D / A - G D

I sing it according to the lyrics Amos posted, but there are some alternatives in Rise Up Singing:

SINGING FOR OUR LIVES
(Holly Near)

We are a gentle, angry people
And we are singing, singing for our lives (repeat)

1. a justice-seeking people
2. an anti-nuclear (anti-racist, anti-sexist) people
3. young and old together
4. gay and lesbian people (gay and straight together)
5. a land of many colors
