House Of Exile chords by Lucky Dube

Key: 'Bb'

Intro:
 Bb  F  Eb  Bb  F  Eb

Bb   F     Eb
  Freedom fighter

Standing on a mountain
Bb      F        Eb
  In a foreign country



          Bb      F
Trying to send a message
     Eb
To his people
             Bb      F   Eb
Back in the ghetto

         Bb        F
He had a home one time
          Eb
Love of a girl
        Bb         F      Eb
But he left that behind
   Bb         F           Eb
Oh yes i can hear him clearly

As he whispers in the air
Bb     F                 Eb
  His voice came out loud and clear
        Bb           F
All he asked for was a prayer
           Eb
And as he turns to walk away he said

           Bb         F         Eb
I'm still here in the house of exile
         Bb     F           Eb
For the loooooooove of the nation

(Bb  F  Eb)
(Bb  F  Eb)
(Bb  F  Eb)

Bb   F             Eb
 Suuuun went down on the mountain
Bb           F              Eb
 Birds flew back to their hiding places
        Bb            F            Eb
Leaving him standing there like a telephone pole
        Bb           F
In the still of the night
          Eb
You and i dream
      Bb       F       Eb
Dreaming of romeo & juliet
        Bb      F            Eb
All he dreams about is the freedom of the nation
           Bb           F
When everyman will be equal
       Eb
In the eyes of the law
   Bb         F
As he closes his eyes
        Eb
For the last time he said again

           Bb         F         Eb
I'm still here in the house of exile
         Bb     F           Eb
For the loooooooove of the nation

Final: Bb
