[Em][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]As I remember[D]
It was [Bm]four hundred years
or [F#]more[Bm][Gm]
[D]Since you [Em]came to [G]crucify
[D]And they were tak[Bm]en far
away from home
[Bbdim]There wer[Gm]e promises [D]of paradi[Bm]se[D]
[Asus4]But if they [A]had been told [Bm]that day
That they would be sold [Bbdim]that this way
[Gm]To satis[D]fy the s[Em]ouls of ch[D]osen men
See I had to [Bm]look carefully
At the shame [A#]of my ancestry
[D]To redef[A]ine the sto[D]ryline again[Asus4]
[G]If I was

[Verse 2]
[Am]taken for a day
[Asus4]And shown[Gm] another way
[C#m]Now every child can learn
[C#]a different [Fm]thin[C#]g[A]
See I tried a mil[Am]lion times
[A#]But I had [Gm]to change my mi[Dm]nd
[Cm]Sadness was the best thing
[C#m]I could [A]bring[D]
[Bm]On the i[A]nside he[Asus4] was dead
[Gm]and this is what he said
As he [C#m]took away the blue
above [C#]the cloud[Fm]s[F#m]
[A]Super[Asus4]i ority w[Am]as cle[G]arly me[Gm]ant to be
So [Cm]destiny [Dbm]will manifest in time.
[Cm]

[Verse 3]
[Bm]
[Cm]So where has t[Bm]he love al[Bb]l go[Bm]ne[G]
[Gm]A trou[Em]bled trail of te[Bm]ars will[D] tell the [G]tale[D]
Of how I was [Bm]put down
where I [A#]don't belong
[Gm]Woma[D]n, child[Bm] and man for sale[D]
For ethical [Bm]slavery is just an ab[A#]surdity
[A]How can[D] you be [Em]alive when
[D]you [G]are dead[Asus4]
With these [A]chains of [Bm]hypocrisy
The shame [A#aug]of my anc[A#dim]estry[Gm]
[D]Forever stained [Bm]by blood
[D]in which you [Asus4]tread.[A]

[Verse 4]
If I was [A]taken for [Am]a day
[Gm]And shown another way
Now [C#m]every child can learn
a different [C#]thing[Fm]
[F#m]See I [A]tried a million [Am]times[Asus4]
[Gm]But I had to change my mind
Sad[C#m]ness was the best
thing I [A]could [C#]bring
[A]On the inside [Asus4]he was dead
[Gm]and this is what he said
As he [Cm]took away [C#m]the blue above
the [A]cloud[F#m]s[A]
Superior[Asus4]ity was[Gm]
clearly meant [Abm]to be[Gm]
So [C#m]destiny will manifest
[D]itself in [C#m]time.[C][Bm]

[Verse 5]
So where has the love [F#]all [F#m]gone
