Number One (feat. Richie Havens & Son Little) - Portugal. The Man
The bassline riff over the Cm chords is just a hammer on from Bb -> C so you can either
slide from Bb5 into
Cm or play Cm7 and hammer on to Cm.
Listen to the song for the rhythm and timing.

Cm Freedom Cm Freedom Cm Freedom Cm Freedom Cm Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Cm Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Bb Bb/B Cm A long way from my home Cm Bb Ab Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone Cm Bb Ab Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone
[Verse 1]
Cm When the morning came Cm Like another's pain Bb But didn't know to fade Ab Like the sound it made Cm Let's go down the drain Cm With the falling rain Bb Wash away the stains Ab In the evening shade
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm It's that sufferin' Eb Don't know why it brings Bb Such sweet memories Fm Will be the end of me
[Chorus]
Cm But you'll come out all right Cm (Yeah) I know it seems there's no end in sight Cm Fm (Yeah) But it doesn't mean you can't put up a fight Gm But ya don't, no, no Cm But ya don't, no, no
[Post-Chorus]
Cm No, no, no Cm No, no, no Cm Cm No, no, no
[Verse 2]
Cm All the trails we blazed Cm Have long since been paved Bb Leadin' the modern age Ab On down memory lane Cm Can't turn the page Cm Like it's just a phase Bb Somehow still be amazed Ab That the leaves had changed
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm It's that sufferin' Eb Don't know why it brings Bb Such sweet memories Fm Will be the end of me
[Chorus]
Cm But you'll come out all right Cm (Yeah) I know it seems there's no end in sight Cm Fm (Yeah) But it doesn't mean you can't put up a fight Gm But ya don't, no, no Cm But ya don't, no, no Cm But you'll come out all right Cm (Yeah) I know it seems there's no end in sight Cm Fm (Yeah) But it doesn't mean you can't put up a fight Gm But ya don't, no, no Cm But ya don't, no, no

Db It's gonna be all right Bbm Telling white lies Fm Of late nights Ab 'Til the sunrise Db Bbm Cause when we rise up we rise up above Fm All of the chaos Ab To get lost Db Don't make me don't make me wake up Bbm Cause I'm gonna be like a drug Fm That never gets old Ab Or gives hope Db Bbm Eb Fm Ab But baby you make me feel loved
