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)
FI see them gathered, see them onG the shore Am
I turned to look once more
FAnd he who knows me not
GTakes me to the belly of darkness Am
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
FTears will run swift
And tears Gwill come that fall like raAmin
FI pray that it's swift though
TGears will fall as cold asAm pain
FI pray to the almighty G
Let me not to him do Am
As he has unto me
FTeach my beloved children
Who have been enslaved
To reaAmch 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
