G There's a river running sweat right through our land, through our land Driven by a man with a bullwhip in his hand, in his hand And I've taken just as much as I can stand, I can stand C Oh, we've got to free our brothers D C G from their shackles, yeah, if we can, if we can Most nights I have to watch my woman cry, oh, she cries Every day I watch the colonel smile, oh, he smiles His painted ladies riding in from town, in from town Oh, I swear one day i'm gonna burn the whorehouse to the ground, to the ground Chorus: Em C Slave, slave G D To fight the violence we must be brave Em C Hold on strong to the love God gave Em G Slave There's a rumor of a war that's yet to come, yet to come That may free our families, free our families and our sons, and our sons It may lay green lands to barren waste, all to waste, all to waste Oh, the price of release is a bitter blow to face, oh, to face Chorus: Slave, slave To fight the violence we must be brave Hold on strong to the love God gave Slave Slave, oh, slave To fight the violence we must be brave Hold on strong to the love God gave Slave, slave To fight the violence we must be brave Hold on strong to the love God gave Slave | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC  D  Em  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
