Slave To South chords by The Weeks

Chords with lyrics

intro: C majorC F#F#  x4


F#F#                  C majorC      F#F#
I?m a slave to the south there?s a curse on this house
F#F#               C majorC       F#F#
I?ve been dying to leave but I just can?t get out
F#F#             C majorC      F#F#
I?ve always been drawn to one wooden shack
F#F#                C majorC       F#F#
And a man with the weight of the world on his back


F#F#                  C majorC      F#F#
I?ve got dust on my boots, I?ve got tears in my eyes
F#F#                  C majorC     F#F#
And ill work in these fields for the rest of my life
F#F#              C majorC      F#F#
Like my father before me who worked every day
F#F#                  C majorC       F#F#
And I?ll be damned if I let someone take that from me

A minorAm
Well a life full of riches means nothing to me
 C majorC
With a full of joy there that no one can see
 B minorBm
And a poor hungry heart that still wants to be free
 D MajorD
And somebody there who?s still waiting for me


F#F#
And I know of a place that gets slow when it rains
E minorEm          D MajorD            F#F#
With a sky that?s as blue as the blood in my veins
  E minorEm       D MajorD      F#F#
And a burnt cigarette sits on some window pane
    E minorEm       D MajorD        F#F#
With the loud laughs and thunder in a slow southern state


Break: A minorAm C majorC D MajorD A minorAm C majorC

F#F#                      C majorC    F#F#
I?ve been raising my hands, I?ve been praying for rain
F#F#                  C majorC       F#F#
And I screamed at them skies but the drops never came
F#F#                 C majorC      F#F#
Well with sun on my face and with god on my side
F#F#             C majorC         F#F#
Who will I blame if those crops, they don?t rise

F#F#                C majorC      F#F#
Well I always hoped life wouldn?t end up like this
F#F#                C majorC      F#F#
With a well that?s gone dry and a cross in my fist
F#F#                    C majorC        F#F#
Well if my hair has gone gray and its rains still ain?t came
F#F#                  C majorC        F#F#
Well then well wade in that river, let it take us away


 A minorAm
Well a life full of riches means nothing to me
 C majorC
With a full of joy there that no one can see
 B minorBm
And a poor hungry heart that still wants to be free
 D MajorD
And somebody there who?s still waiting for me


F#F#
And I know of a place that gets slow when it rains
E minorEm          D MajorD            F#F#
With a sky that?s as blue as the blood in my veins
  E minorEm       D MajorD      F#F#
And a burnt cigarette sits on some window pane
    E minorEm       D MajorD        F#F#
