Chords for Elton John - Slave (1972) With Lyrics!

_ [C] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
There's a river running, sweat right through our land,
through our land.
_ _ [C] _
_ [G] Driven by a man with a full whip in his hand, in his hand. _ _
And I've taken just as much as I can stand, I can stand.
_ _ Oh, we [C] got to free our brothers from the [A] shackles, yeah,
[C] if we can, [G] if we can.
_ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ [G] Most nights I have to watch my woman cry, oh, she cries. _ _
_ Every day I watch the colonel smile, oh, he smiles.
_ _ [C] _
_ Rainy ladies riding in from town, in from town.
_ _ Oh, [C] I swear one day I'm going to [D] burn the horse to the [G] ground,
to the ground. _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ [Em] _ _ Slave, [C] slave, _
_ [G] to fight the violence [D] we must be brave.
[Em] Hold on strong to [C] the love God gave [Bm] you, slave.
_ _ [Em] _ _ _
[G] There's a rumor of a war that's yet to come, yet to come.
_ _ [C] _
[G] Let me free our families, free our families,
and our sons, and our sons. _ _
In melee green lands, barren waste, all the waste,
all the waste. _ _
Oh, the [C] price of releases, [D] a bit of load of [A] face,
all [G] the face. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] Slave, _ [C] slave, _ [G] to fight the violence we [D] must be brave.
[Em] Hold on strong to the [C] love God [Em] gave you, slave. _ _ _ _ _

_ _ [Em] Slave, oh, [C] slave, _
_ [G] to fight the violence [D] we must be brave.
[Em] Hold on strong to [C] the love God gave [Em] you, slave.
_ [C] Slave, _ _ [G] to fight the violence [D] we must be [Em] brave.
Hold on strong to [C] the love God gave you, [Em] slave.
