Am7 Too much hypocrisy in this old southEmern town for me
Am7 Way back in 1619 began this traEmgic story
Am7 Thrown into slavery the Emcrime was the colour of skin
Am7 Never to see the light of the past agaiEmn Cadd9
[Chorus:]
I wanna go wGhere the mountains are high enoughCadd9 to echo my song G Cadd9
I wanna go wGhere the rivers run deep enough toCadd9 drown my shame G Cadd9
I wanna goAm7 where the stars shine brEmight enough to show me the way Am7 Em
I wanna Am7 gEmo Cadd9 where the wind calls my name G Cadd9 G Cadd9
The wind is calling India IGndia ICadd9ndia G
It's a typical Savannah day
So I take my guitar to the park and I play
Sitting up under the live oak tree
The strangest feeling came over me
Is this the tree where my brother was hung?
Is this the ground where is body was burnt?
God gave to me the gift of song so I dedicate this one
[chorus]
Superiority, who have you better than me
Wasting precious time on racist mentality
This is only the beginning
because we'll be pushing up daisies in the ending
Spirit knows no colour either you're a hater or a lover
[chorus]
