So we (D major) come a long
Verse 1
(D major) way
from the chains and the cane (A major) field (B minor) s
A long way from the (A major) back o' the bus
(D major) Shoulda brought along a little
map for the travelling
Seems (B minor) we've come a long
(A major) way from us
Squander (D major) our money waiting
on reparation, (A major)
(B minor) never make plans for re (A major) tirement day
(D major) Who's to be blamed for our lack of preparation
now (B minor) we done spent every (A major) dime of our pay
On (D major) big pimping, flossing every dollar
(A major) we've (B minor) got on the much less fortunate (A major)
(D major) Small thinking got us bound tighter
than the (B minor) chains that we try to forget (A major)
