Verse 1:
And Bmwhen F#msoldiers came; them say Bmwar. Them said them come to F#mmake us tame, And from that Bmday, until F#mnow on; Bm We were jeered and F#mlaughed to scorn.
Things used to be Bmire, (before the F#msoldiers came), Things used to be Bmnice, so F#mnice now. Things used to be Bmire, (before the F#msoldiers came), Things used to be Bmnice, so nice, so F#mnice.
Chorus 1:
G Our country them did Aenter, yeah, Troops Gtrodding left, right and Acentre, (everywhere). G One moment at peace with nature, now Bmvictims of a massacre. G We got our spears, we got our shields, But their Bmguns were greater; prepare for a slaughter!
Interlude: A C#m (strum C#m (x4)) Verse 2: (n.C) Give I back I witch doctor,
Bm Give I back I F#mBlack Ruler. Bm Me no want no F#mdictator, Bm Me no want no F#mtyrant on yah.

Interlude: Bm F#m (x4) Chorus 2: G A (x2) G Bm (x2) A C#m (strum C#m (x4)) (Spoken over Above Chords): Way down in Africa, where the backra still rules, Day after day the Black Man is suffering now, Far more than when he was a slave. Is there a need for war? No. Peace my bredren; here them bawl. Bodies in mutilated condition, Faces scarred beyond recognition. Is this what Civilization means to me? Then without it, I prefer to be, so... Verse 3: (n.C) Give I back I witch doctor,
Bm Give I back I F#mBlack Ruler. Bm Me no want no F#mdictator, Bm Me no want no F#mtyrant on yah.
