Sade - Slave Song

From the album "Lovers Rock". These chords are a best guess at harmonizing the vocal
since there is only drum and bass accompaniment.

Intro: Am (or just play verse progression)

F G Am
I see them gathered, see them on the shore
I turned to look once more
F
And he who knows me not
G Am
Takes me to the belly of darkness


The tears run swift and hard
And when they fall
Even, even the comfort of a stone
Would be a gain

There was a time when I thought
I would have to give up
But I'm thankful that I'm
Strong as I am and I'll
Try to do the best I can

Chorus 1
F
Tears will run swift
G Am
And tears will come that fall like rain
F
I pray that it's swift though
G Am
Tears will fall as cold as pain
F G
I pray to the almighty
Am
Let me not to him do
As he has unto me
F
Teach my beloved children
Who have been enslaved
Am
To reach for the light continually
So many times I prayed
So many times I've prayed for you
Prayed for you

The tears run swift and hard and cold as pain
Even, even the comfort of a stone would be a gain
Had I not had the strength and wisdom of a warrior
I would have to give up

But I'm thankful that I'm
Strong as I am and I'll
Try to do the best I can

[Repeat Chorus]
[alt. Last line in Chorus]
Teach my beloved children I've been a slave
But reach for the light continually

Wisdom is the flame
Wisdom is the brave warrior
Who will carry us into the sun
I pray that it's swift though
Tears will come that fall like rain

So many times, so many times
