[C]
Tout le long, le long de mes 6 épées, [G]
Nous travaillons le jour et la nuit,
[C] Sous les yeux sévères de l'homme blanc, Nous faisons un laveur [Fm] [C] accablant.
[B] [Em] Nous [F#] peinons, [Em] nous coltinons De [F#] loups fardos [A] sur notre [Em] dos,
Pauvre [Am] noir, fais [Em] ton [F#] devoir, [Em] Subis ton [F#] sort [Em] jusqu [Dm]'à la mort.
[G]
[C] Tout le long, le long de mes [F] 6 épées, [C] Nous travaillons le jour et la nuit,
[G#] Et il nous faudra toujours [C] travailler [Cm] Jusqu'au jour du jugement
[C] dernier.
[G] [Dm]
[Em] [C]
[F] Au man ravel, [C] dead au [F] man ravel, [C] He must [Dm] know something, [C] but on said [E] nothing.
[Gm] He just keeps rolling, He keeps on rolling [A] [C] along.

[Cm] And them dark [G] plants, Me [C] soon [B] forgotten,
[D] But [G]
on man ravel, He just keeps rolling [C] along.
[F] [C] [B]
[Em] You [D#] and [C#] me, we [C] swaddle and [Em] train, Body [C] all [C#] aching and wrecked [E] with pain,
Toad and bat, leave the bill, Get a little [B] twine,
[Em] And you will [G] learn [Em] in
[Gm] jail.
[G] [G#]
I'll [F] get weary and [C] sick of trying, And tired [F] of [C] living,
[Dm] And feared of [Fm] dying,
[C] But on man [F#]
[Fm] ravel,
[D#] He [G#] will [C] learn.
