intro: C F# x4
F# C F#
I’m a slave to the south there’s a curse on this house
F# C F#
I’ve been dying to leave but I just can’t get out
F# C F#
I’ve always been drawn to one wooden shack
F# C F#
And a man with the weight of the world on his back
F# C F#
I’ve got dust on my boots, I’ve got tears in my eyes
F# C F#
And ill work in these fields for the rest of my life
F# C F#
Like my father before me who worked every day
F# C F#
And I’ll be damned if I let someone take that from me
Am
Well a life full of riches means nothing to me
C
With a full of joy there that no one can see
Bm
And a poor hungry heart that still wants to be free
D
And somebody there who’s still waiting for me
F#
And I know of a place that gets slow when it rains
Em D F#
With a sky that’s as blue as the blood in my veins
Em D F#
And a burnt cigarette sits on some window pane
Em D F#
With the loud laughs and thunder in a slow southern state
Break: Am C D Am C
F# C F#
I’ve been raising my hands, I’ve been praying for rain
F# C F#
And I screamed at them skies but the drops never came
F# C F#
Well with sun on my face and with god on my side
F# C F#
Who will I blame if those crops, they don’t rise
F# C F#
Well I always hoped life wouldn’t end up like this
F# C F#
With a well that’s gone dry and a cross in my fist
F# C F#
Well if my hair has gone gray and its rains still ain’t came
F# C F#
Well then well wade in that river, let it take us away
Am
Well a life full of riches means nothing to me
C
With a full of joy there that no one can see
Bm
And a poor hungry heart that still wants to be free
D
And somebody there who’s still waiting for me
F#
And I know of a place that gets slow when it rains
Em D F#
With a sky that’s as blue as the blood in my veins
