[Verse 1]
   Gmaj7   Gdim7
As I remember

 Bm7               Gdim7
It was 400 years or more

 Bm7/E                    Gmaj7 Gdim7
Since you came to crucify

              Bm7                  Gdim7
And they were taken far away from home

 Bm7/E                           Gmaj7  Gdim7
There were promises of paradise

                      Bm7
But if they had been told that they

                     Gdim7
That they would be sold this way

    Bm7/E                           Gmaj7  Gdim7
To satisfy the souls of chosen men

                     Bm7
See, I had to look carefully

                 Gdim7
At the shame of my ancestry

      Bm7/E                     Gmaj7  Gdim7
To redefine the storyline again
[Chorus]
               Am9
Hey, if I was taken for a day

     Gm9
And shown another way

           Cm9                         C#maj9
Now every child can learn a different thing

         Am9
See, I tried a million times

      Gm9
But I had to change my mind, oh

  Cm9                              C#maj9
Sadness was the best thing I could bring

         Am9
On the inside he was dead

     Gm9
And this is what he said

       Cm9                          C#maj9
As he took away the blue above the clouds, oh

    Am9            Gm9
"Superiority was clearly meant to be

      Cm9                    C#maj9   Cmaj9  Bm9
So destiny will manifest in time"
[Verse 2]
 Bm7             Gdim7
So where has the love all gone?

  Bm7/E                                      Gmaj7 Gdim7
A troubled trail of tears will tell the tale

              Bm7                    Gdim7
Of how I was put down where I don't belong, oh

 Bm7/E                        Gmaj7 Gdim7
Woman, child and man for sale

             Bm7                  Gdim7
For ethical slavery is just an absurdity

 Bm7/E                                  Gmaj7 Gdim7
How can you be alive when you are dead?

                       Bm7
With these chains of hypocrisy

              Gdim7
The shame of my ancestry

 Bm7/E                                         Gmaj7 Gdim7
Forever stained by blood in which you tread (hey, yeah)
[Chorus]
          Am9
If I was taken for a day

      Gm9
And shown another way

      Cm9                         C#maj9
Now every child can learn a different thing

         Am9
See, I tried a million times

       Gm9
But I had to change my mind, oh

  Cm9                               C#maj9
Sadness was the best thing I could bring

         Am9
On the inside he was dead

     Gm9
And this is what he said

       Cm9                         C#m9
As he took away the blue above the clouds, oh

      Am9            Gm9
"Superiority was clearly meant to be

     Cm9                            C#maj9  Cmaj9  Bm9
So destiny will manifest itself in time", yeah
[Break]
 Bm7             Gdim7
So where has the love all gone?

       Bm7/E
Said I wanna know, I wanna know

   Gmaj7          Gdim7         Bm7  Gdim7
I wanna know, I wanna know, I

                                Bm7/E
Oh, somebody tell me where the love has all gone

 Gmaj7          Gdim7
Said I want to know why
