	        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#º 
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
