And when,
F#m
Soldiers came;
Bm
Them say war.
Them said them come,
F#m
To make us tame,
Bm
And from that day,
F#m
Until now on;
Bm
We were jeered,
F#m
And laughed to scorn.
Bm
Things used to be ire;
F#m
(Before the soldiers came),
Bm
Things used to be nice,
F#m
So nice now.

Things used to be ire;
F#m
(Before the soldiers came),
Bm
Things used to be nice,
F#m
So nice, so nice.

(Spoken over Above Chords):
Way down in Africa,
Where the backra,
Still rules,
Day after day,
The Black Man is,
Suffering now,
Far more,
Than when he,
Was a slave.
Is there a,
Need for war?
No.
Peace my bredren;
Here them bawl.
Bodies in,
Mutilated condition,
Faces scarred,
Beyond recognition.
Is this what,
Civilization,
Means to me?
Then without it,
I prefer to be,
So...
