Slave To South chords by The Weeks
Guitar chords with lyrics
intro: C F# x4 F# C F# I?m a slave to the south there?s a curse on this house F# C F# I?ve been dying to leave but I just can?t get out F# C F# I?ve always been drawn to one wooden shack F# C F# And a man with the weight of the world on his back F# C F# I?ve got dust on my boots, I?ve got tears in my eyes F# C F# And ill work in these fields for the rest of my life F# C F# Like my father before me who worked every day F# C F# And I?ll be damned if I let someone take that from me
Am
Well a life full of riches means nothing to me
C
With a full of joy there that no one can see
Bm
And a poor hungry heart that still wants to be free
D
And somebody there who?s still waiting for me
F#
And I know of a place that gets slow when it rains
Em D F#
With a sky that?s as blue as the blood in my veins
Em D F#
And a burnt cigarette sits on some window pane
Em D F#
With the loud laughs and thunder in a slow southern state
Break: Am C D Am C
F# C F#
I?ve been raising my hands, I?ve been praying for rain
F# C F#
And I screamed at them skies but the drops never came
F# C F#
Well with sun on my face and with god on my side
F# C F#
Who will I blame if those crops, they don?t rise
F# C F#
Well I always hoped life wouldn?t end up like this
F# C F#
With a well that?s gone dry and a cross in my fist
F# C F#
Well if my hair has gone gray and its rains still ain?t came
F# C F#
Well then well wade in that river, let it take us away
Am
Well a life full of riches means nothing to me
C
With a full of joy there that no one can see
Bm
And a poor hungry heart that still wants to be free
D
And somebody there who?s still waiting for me
F#
And I know of a place that gets slow when it rains
Em D F#
With a sky that?s as blue as the blood in my veins
Em D F#
And a burnt cigarette sits on some window pane
