[Verse]
E MajorE                D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
You say that I put chains on you
E MajorE                  D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
But I don`t think that`s really true
E MajorE                  D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
But if you want to be free from me
E MajorE          D MajorD    A augmentedA
You gotta lose me in another world


[Chorus]
E MajorE       D MajorD     A2    A augmentedA
Send me to the Congo I`m free to leave
E MajorE       D MajorD       A2    A augmentedA
There`s always somewhere anybody can lead
E MajorE       D MajorD     A2    A augmentedA
Send me to the Congo you have to believe
E MajorE       D MajorD     A2    A augmentedA
You can do it if you wanna just do what you please

[Verse]
E MajorE            D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
Like a soldier ant
E MajorE                D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
I will wait for the signal to act
E MajorE                   D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
To take a walk right through the door
E MajorE             D MajorD  A augmentedA
If you don`t want me here any more


[Chorus]
E MajorE       D MajorD     A2    A augmentedA
Send me to the Congo I`m free to leave
E MajorE       D MajorD       A2    A augmentedA
There`s always somewhere anybody can lead
E MajorE       D MajorD     A2    A augmentedA
Send me to the Congo you have to believe
E MajorE       D MajorD     A2    A augmentedA
You can do it if you wanna just do what you please

[Outro]
B minorBm      G+G       A augmentedA       B minorBm
I would never be the one to say you had no reason
B minorBm      G+G      A augmentedA    B minorBm
To want me somewhere else far far away
  B minorBm       G+G      A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
But someday you may understand, someday you will see
B minorBm           G+G       A augmentedA       B minorBm
That someone who would die for you is all I`ve ever been
B minorBm    G+G        A augmentedA       B minorBm
Congo the Congo, if that`s how it`s got to be
B minorBm    G+G        A augmentedA        B minorBm
Congo the Congo, if that`s what you want from me
B minorBm      G+G       A augmentedA       B minorBm
I would never be the one to say you had no reason
B minorBm      G+G      A augmentedA    B minorBm
To want me somewhere else far far away
  B minorBm       G+G      A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
But someday you may understand, someday you will see.........
