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
