Slave chords by Elton John

Chords with lyrics

G+G
There's a river running sweat right through our land
Driven by a man with a bullwhip in his hand
And I've taken just as much as I can stand
     C majorC                  D MajorD       C majorC   G+G
Oh we've got to free our brothers from their shackles if we can

Most nights I have to watch my woman cry
Every day I watch the colonel smile
His painted ladies riding in from town
I swear one day I'm gonna burn that whore house to the ground

E minorEm   C majorC
Slave, slave
  G+G           D MajorD
To fight the violence we must be brave
E minorEm           C majorC
Hold on strong to the love God gave
E minorEm
Slave

There's a rumour of a war that's yet to come
That may free our families and our sons
It may lay green lands to barren wastes
The price of release is a bitter blow to face
