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


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


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


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

C C6 C  G  Gadd9  G


[Interlude]
G    C      C6 C
Into my heart you came
  C        G      G6  G
And gave a whole new meaning to my life
    C           C6
Into my world you brought a light
 C      G     G6  G
I thought it never would go out


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


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

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