Verse 1
F# B F# I’m a slave to the south there’s a curse on this house F# B F# I’ve been dying to leave but I just can’t get out F# B F# I’ve always been drawn to one wooden shack F# B F# And a man with the weight of the world on his back
Verse 2
F# B F# I’ve got dust on my boots, I’ve got tears in my eyes F# B F# And I'll work in these fields for the rest of my life F# B F# Like my father before me who worked every day F# B F# And I’ll be damned if I let someone take that from me
Chorus
G#m Well a life full of riches means nothing to me B With a heart full of joy there that no one can see A#m And a poor hungry heart that still wants to be free C# And somebody there who’s still waiting for me
Bridge
A#m C# F# And I know of a place that gets slow when it rains A#m C# F# With a sky that’s as blue as the blood in my veins A#m C# F# And a burnt cigarette sits on some window pane A#m C# F# With the loud laughs and thunder in a slow Southern state

F# B F# I’ve been raising my hands, I’ve been praying for rain F# B F# And I screamed at them skies but the drops never came F# B F# Well with sun on my face and with god on my side F# B F# Who will I blame if those crops, they don’t rise
Verse 4
F# B F# Well I always hoped life wouldn’t end up like this F# B F# With a well that’s gone dry and a cross in my fist F# B F# Well if my hair has gone gray and its rains still ain’t came F# B F# Well then well wade in that river, let it take us away
Chorus
G#m Well a life full of riches means nothing to me B With a heart full of joy there that no one can see A#m And a poor hungry heart that still wants to be free C# And somebody there who’s still waiting for me A#m C# F# And I know of a place that gets slow when it rains A#m C# F# With a sky that’s as blue as the blood in my veins A#m C# F# And a burnt cigarette sits on some window pane A#m C# F# With the loud laughs and thunder in a slow Southern state
