[Intro]
Am D Am Father, yes, I am a prisoner C/G G C C/B Fear not to relay my crime Am Am/G F The crime is loving the forsaken Am Em Am Only silence is shame
[Chorus]
Am Em And now I'll tell you what's against us F E An art that's lived for centuries Am Am/G F Go through the years and you will find Em Am What's blackened all of history
[Verse]
N.C Am (Percussive Slapping)
Against us is the law with its immensity of strength and power
Am/G Against us is the law! Dm Am Police know how to make a man A guilty or an innocent Dm G Against us is the power of police! C Am The shameless lies that men have told will ever more be paid in gold
Against us is the power of the gold!
Dm E Am Against us is racial hatred and the simple fact that we are poor
[Chorus]
Am Em My father dear, I am a prisoner F E Don't be ashamed to tell my crime Am Am/G F The crime of love and brotherhood Em Am And only silence is shame
[Verse]
N.C Am
With me I have my love, my innocence the workers, and the poor(Percussive Slapping)
For all of this I'm safe and strong and hope is mine
Dm Am Rebellion, revolution don't need dollars they need this instead Dm G Imagination, suffering, light and love and care for every human being C/G You never steal, you never kill you are a part of hope and life Am The revolution goes from man to man and heart to heart Dm E And I sense when I look at the stars that we are children of life Am Death is small
