_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] There was terror [F#m] inside the city.
[A] _ _ _
[B] There were rough [F#m] seas and rain.
[G] The day that [D] I came [Bm] to the new world, [F#m] the seer of [G] our Lord. _ _ _
[Bm] I had barely [F#m] made land, [G] when the people [D] came back,
_ [Bm] insisted [F#m] that I stay [G] on board. _ _
[D] I was a human _ [A] _
child, [Em] born in [Bm] the wild, [D] long and distant [A] from Vail, [G] Chemex Hall. _ _ _
[D] It was brown in [A] the shade, [Em] the billowed sands [Bm]
made,
[D] and I'm barely a [A] month or [G] two _ _ old.
_ [D] So, Bob, [A] we're team.
[Bm] We are born across [G] the sea,
[D] to the counsel [A] of good [G] King Louis. _ _ _
[D] There is heart and [A] gratitude [Bm] for my Bob and [G]
me,
in [D] the wonder _ [A]
all [G] _ of Paris. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] There was strong [F#m] drinking and [G] home the day that [Bm] they met,
our arrival [F#m] had _ [G] such joy. _ _
[Bm] I was taken [F#m] to work, [G] morning [D] till dark,
[Bm] and our [F#m] squire-mine [G] cared for the boy. _ _
_ [D] _ Slowly [A] he grew, _ [G] the more [Bm] he was two,
he [D] was bigger [A] than boys [G] twice his age. _ _
_ [D] For [A] bolder, sure, _ [G] hard, [Bm] brave and pure,
[D] _ impressing both [A]
subject [G] and _ sage. _
_ [D] _ So, Bob, [A] we're team.
[Bm] You were born across [G] the sea,
[D] in a country _ [A]
beyond [G] _ apathy. _ _
[D] Though your people [A] were free, [Bm] they were destined [D] to be
in bondage, _ [A]
slaves _ [G] of Paris. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] But the boy grew [F#m] up tall, _ [G] from under [D] to all,
in [Bm] the court of [F#m] the big _ [G] fourteen. _ _ _
[Bm] There was hot bread [F#m] and tea, [G] the court [D] of the mean,
[Bm] and the [F#m] wonderfully rare, human [G] being, _ _ _
[D] he'd come in [A] and met.
[Em] He'd soon _ [Bm] understand,
[D] _ he was not [A] born like [G] the rest. _ _ _
[D] He was tall, [A] proud and lean, _ [E] his eyes [Bm] dark and clean,
[D] but a different [A] heart beat in [G] his chest. _ _
_ [D] So Bob, [A] we're team.
[Bm] You were born across [D] the sea,
to the Huron [A] of Ville, _ [G] sang Marie. _
[D] And you just happened [A] to be, [Bm] and trust that [D] you'd be,
to bring you as the [A] jewel [G] of Paris.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
[Bm] _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] There was terror [F#m] inside, _ [G] the day [Bm] that she died,
the first time that he'd been alone.
[G] _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] He knelt by her [F#m] bed, [G] he picked up [D] her hand,
[Bm] and with her [F#m] last breath she [G] made _ known, _
[D] that all of her [A] days, [Em] through each of her [Bm] days,
[D] she'd have been near [A] half what [G] she'd be. _ _ _
[D] But he put it [A] away, _ [Em] so that on [Bm] this day,
[D] the price [F#m] of his freedom [G] was paid. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[D] She said, no, _ [A]
Mompotee, [Bm] you were not born to [G] me,
but [D] I love you [B] as though you [G] might be. _
[D] And I saved _ [A]
Mompotee, [Bm] so that you'd have me [D] free,
to return you [A] to Ville, [G] _ sang Marie.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] So _ _
[A] _ Mompotee, [Bm] took a boat across the sea,
[D] to the countries _ [A] beyond [G] our country,
_ _ _ [D] to the Ville, sang [A] Marie.
[Bm] In her own [G] country, _ [D] the young [A] man arrived _ proud and _ free.
