All
[E] [D]
the gold and soft [A] silk sand [E] That surrounds this [B] pretty
[D] island
[A] [Bm] Must have seemed like [B] prison [F#m]
walls [A] Steely bars in [D] this playground [A] of the rich
[G] All the yachts [A] and champagne [D]
lavished I [B] still [Bm] see a lonely [F#m]
child watch the stars

[Bm] Now my people were not [F#m]
made for these burning [A]
[A] fields
[Bm]
All of our evil [B] deeds many still condone
