I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups. The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.

Step by Step
By Waldemar Hille and Pete Seeger
Rise Up Singing chapter: Unity, p.242
Chords:
Am - GAm EmAm / Am - GAm EmAm / Am - AmDm DmE / Am - GAm EmAm
Lyrics:
Step by step the longest march can be won, can be won
Many stones can form an arch, singly none, singly none
And in union what we will can be accomplished still
Drops of water turn a mill, singly none, singly none
Rise Up Singing says this tune was adapted from the traditional Irish song "The Praties They Grow Small".
