[E] [Bm] [E] [B]
[E] [B]
[E]
[A] [D] All the gold and [A] soft silk sand
[G] That surrounds this [A] pretty [G]
[A] island
[Bm] Must have seemed like [C#] prison [F#m]
walls [A] Steely bars
In [D] this playground [A] of the rich
[G] All the yachts [A] and champagne [G]
[D] [A] lavished
I [B] still [Bm] see a lonely [F#m]
child
Watch [A] the stars
[Bm]
All of our evil [A] deeds
Many still condone
[G] You sent me [D] far [G]
across the [A] sea
[F#m] To be owned
[F#]
To hell [C#] and [Bm]
Barbados
To hell [A] and Barbados
To hell and [E]
Barbados
[C#m] [E]
Across the [D] west [E] sand
[F#m]
[D] It's a heaven on [A] this earth
[G] A creator's work [A] of [G]
[A] art
[Bm] And the sun sets [G] over [F#m] the sea
So [A] divine
Then [D] a [G] whiplash [D] licks [A] my heels
[G] And my scorched skin [A] bursts [C#] and [G] [A] peels
[Bm] Nor my people were [F#m] not made
For these [A] burning fields
[Bm]
All of our evil [A] deeds
Many still condone
[G]
But your [A] crime of slavery [F#m] Goes [E] unknown
[Bm]
But men like old Wilberforce
[A]
They came far too late
[G]
Far too late to [D] save [A] us
[F#m] From the fame
[F#]
Of hell [E] and [Bm]
Barbados
All hell [A] and Barbados
Through hell and [E]

We [Bm] went
