[Intro]
Am
Yo, Sum da ya woy yay yo wah yo hoooo[Verse 1]
Am Em Said from the forest itself comes the handle for the axe Am Em Split this wilderness listen, I'm not missing where it's at Am Em Clear a path so that you could find your way back Am Chop 'em down, chop 'em down Em Chop 'em down, chop 'em down
[Bridge]
Dm7 Em Then I'ma said, time flies by like clouds passing in the sky Dm7 Em Lifetimes even gone with the blink of an eye Dm7 Em March through the desert one step at a time Dm7 March through the desert one step at a time
[Verse 2]
Am Em Said, from the forest itself comes the handle for the axe Am Em Drop the staff Moshe Rabbeinu split the ocean in half Am Em March through the desert this ain't where it's at Am Said chop 'em down, Chop 'em down Em Chop 'em down, chop 'em down
[Bridge]
Dm7 Then I'ma said, patterns engraved not so easily erased Em Still wandering trying to find your place Dm7 I said, playing the game I see pain on your face Em Now a day's the Yidden like children sold as slaves Dm7 Em Strange ways running through the maze, strange ways, always Dm7 Lost in the desert trying to find your way Dm7 Em Lost, lost in the desert trying to find your way
[Verse 3]
Am Em From the forest itself comes the handle for the axe Am Em Split this wilderness, listen I'm not missing where it's at Am Em Clear a path so that you could find your way back Am Said chop 'em down, chop 'em down Em Chop 'em down, chop 'em down, na-na
[Bridge]
Dm7 Em Yosef descended sold as a slave Dm7 Em Thrown into a dungeon cause he wouldn't be swayed Dm7 Em Interpreted Pharaoh's dreams and Egypt was saved Dm7 Stock piled food for seven years of rain Dm7 Sold to all the nations when the drought came
[Verse 4]
Am Em Yosef rose to power and the Yidden stayed Am Em Started to build and success was made Am Em Pharaoh is getting worried let's make them pay Am Bound in chains, first born was sent down to their graves
[Bridge]
Dm7 Em Moshe was saved and a prince he was raised Dm7 Em Hashem spoke to him, "Here's a message to relay Dm7 Em Take my Nation from Mitzrayim, must see the suffering" Dm7 Hard hearts ego breaks take sparks and make way Dm7 Trail blaze through the wasteland breaking the chains
{Break]
Am Em Ribbi dibbi dibbi, dibbi ye yo yo, yiggy yo, yiggy yo, oh yiggy yo yo Am Em Yiggy yo yo, yiggy yo, yiggy yo yo, oh yiggy yo-oh ohhh
[Verse 5]
Am Last generation just the remnants Em Peel through this wasteland leaving footprints Am Em Peel off the lid this is just plastic, gotta get into it, get-get into it Am Em Said heavy hitter stepping solid never quit or jump into the ocean before it split, gotta jump into it Am Jump-jump into the ocean, jump into it Em Rip-rip through Egypt, rip through it Am Em 600,000 witnessed it, no you didn't forget, no you didn't forget Am Rip-rip through Egypt, rip through it Em Said rip-rip through Egypt, yo!
[Outro]
Am Said, in the spiritual desert things are not what they seem Em Snakes camouflaged just to fit the scene Am Em Put your faith in the mirage, it's just a smoke screen, just a smoke screen, just a smoke... Am In the spiritual desert things are not what they seem Em Snakes camouflaged just to fit the scene Am Put your faith in the mirage, it's just a smoke screen, Em Took that path and you no where it leads Fmaj7 Ooh-wa, eee-ah, you-ahh, ooh-ahh Am Em Diggy woy yo
