Intro : Bm7 A#� Em9 ( Em7 G7M A#� )
Bm7 A#�
Four hundred years or more
Em9 ( Em7 G7M A#� )
Since you came to crucify
Bm7 A#�
They were taken far away from home
Em9 ( Em7 G7M A#� )
There were promises of paradise
Bm7
But if they had been told that day
A#�
They would be told that this way
Em9 ( Em7 G7M A#� )
To satisfy the souls of chosen man
Bm7
See I had to look carefully
A#�
At the shame of my ancestry
Em9 ( Em7 G7M A#� )
To redefine the storyline again
Am7
If I was taken for a day
Gm7
And shown another day
Cm7 Dbm9

Every child can learn a different thing
Am7
See I tried a million times
Gm7
But I had to change my mind
Cm7 Dbm9
Sadness was the best thing I could bring
Am7 Gm7
On the inside he was dead and this is what he said
Cm7 Dbm9
As he took away the blue above the clouds
Am7 Gm7
Oh, superiority was clearly meant to be
Cm7 Dbm9 ( Cm7 Bm7 )
So destiny will manifest in time
( Bm7 A#� Em9 ( Em7 G7M A#� ) )
So where has all the love gone?
A troubled trail of tears will tell the tale
Of how I was put down where I don't belong
Woman, child and man for sale
For ethical slavery is just an absurdity
How can you be alive when you are dead
With these chains of hipocrisy
The shame of my ancestry
Forever strained in blood in which you tread
