_ _ [F#m] _ _ Black woman, [Em] _
black [Bm] woman, life be a troubled [F#m]
lawn.
_ [Bm] _ _ Your trot [Em] one of life's rough and [Bm] the _ _ [F#m]
heaviest load.
_ [Bm] _ To be someone [Em]
to belong.
[Bm] To live in your [F#m] mind and the half alone.
_ [Bm] _ _ Don't give [Em] up now, just pray for [Bm] strength now.
With you I [F#m] dedicate my song.
_ [Bm] _ Lada, [Em] _

_ [F#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [Em] woo, woo, woo.
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ We are the [Em] fed ones in the [Bm] station.

_ _ [Bm] _ _ Unauctioned [Em] locks with chain and [Bm] code.
End of [F#m]
merchandise.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ Kindly [Em] abused in war we were [Bm] abused.
And thrown in the garbage [F#m] bin
_ [Bm] _ But no [Em] need for that now
Free [Bm] yourself right now
And let me [F#m]
sing my [Bm] song
