Clotildas On Fire

(início)

G#m  D#m  G#m  D#7
G#m  D#m
G#m             D#
She's comin for you
                G#m
Hear the chains rattle
                 C#m
Turn you into a slave
                 G#m
Another piece of chattel
           C#m
Across the seas
D#7      G#m
Stormy waters
          C#m
Showed no mercy
        D#7     G#m
She was satan’s daughter
        C#m
Born to steal
D#7            G#m
With bodies to sell
            E   D#7
She had her own special
         G#m
Place in hell
   E  F#      G#m
Clotilda's on fire
    E      F#   G#m
Off the alabama coast
   E  F#      G#m
Clotilda's on fire
            E      D#       G#m
We’re still livin' with her ghost
D#  G#m
         G#m
She took souls
     D#m      G#m
On a horrible trip
            C#m
Her morning song
                   G#m
Was the crack of a whip
            C#m
Ones who survived
       D#        G#m
Died a long time ago
             C#m
Most of them buried
       D#7    G#m
Out at old plateau
                     C#m
But the pain and the memory
     D#       G#m
Will never go away
                  E
Her spirits still lives
D#                   G#m
By the shores of the bay
   E  F#      G#m
Clotilda's on fire
    E      F#   G#m
Off the alabama coast
   E  F#      G#m
Clotilda's on fire
            E      D#       G#m
We’re still livin' with her ghost
F#        E     G#m
She was a dirty secret
F#     E          G#m
Forgot but not forgiven
E
But the shame was so great
F#                 D#
She could not stay hidden
         E   F#   G#m
She's on fire....
E  F#  G#m
E  F#  G#m
E  D#  G#m
D# G#m
             G#m    D#m         G#m
Her flame no longer lights up atnight
              C#m                 G#m
Now dreams survive and hope burns bright
             C#m       D#7    G#m
People still come from miles around
              E     D#       G#m
To praise the folks of africatown
                  C#m      D#       G#m
Who rose from the ashes of sad history
           E      D#         G#m
To stand unchained proud and free
    E  F#      G#m
Clotilda's on fire
    E      F#   G#m
Off the alabama coast
   E  F#      G#m
Clotilda's on fire
            E      D#       G#m
We’re still livin' with her ghost
    E  F#      G#m
Clotilda's on fire
    E      F#   G#m
Off the alabama coast
   E  F#      G#m
Clotilda's on fire
            E
We're still livin'
                   D#
We’re still livin'
         G#m
With her ghost
