Chords for Mighty Sniper - Portrait of Trinidad

[G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ [Bm] _
_ [Em] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] Oh, my [G] God.
Oh, my God.
[A] _ _ [D] _ _ [Bm] _
_ [Em] _ _ [D] _ [G] _ _ [A] _ [D] _
_ Trinidad [B] [Em] is my [A] land.
I'm of it.
I am [D] proud and glad.
[Cm] But I [E] can't understand [A] why some people just talk it [A#] bad.
But [F#] I know all of them will run in their mouth.
[Bm] Don't know what they're talking about.
[G] They will [A] paint you [Bm] black every day.
[E] And the right things they will [D] never say.
[G] Like our spawning.
[A] In red, yellow, [D] and maroon.
Our [Bm] colors are sweet and [E] fast every day.
And [A] put us right alongside the [D] rest.
But [F#] then [Gm] our pig's leg [A] is the greatest [D] one of its kind.
Our sugar and [Bm] oil is really [Em] refined.
[G] So you see, friend, this is [D] a reality so normal.
_ [D#m] They just talk [E] some [A] nonsense.
Me ain't know what they're doing it [D] for.
So [G] much violence.
Man, you [A] will swear that we fight [E] a war.
[F#] Of course, we have made delinquency case.
[Bm] But just like any other place, the [G] things [A#] that I say [Bm] about here
is [Em] really too much for me [D] to care.
[F#] [G] Because my people [A] are daily making [D] progress
[Bm] without any form of [Em] stupidness.
And [A] in this way, [D] we must gain success.
For [G] when we move in, [A] we all [D] move as one body.
[Bm] No bickering between you [Em] and me.
[G] For our policies stand for [D] racial equality.
_ [B] Now when a [Em] stranger's spending [A] a little time in this [D] love line,
_ [Bm] every [G] day we see him, he always have a hearty smile.
[F#] But when his time is up to depart, [Bm]
he will say with pride in heart,
[C#] I expect you could bet [Bm] your life, and if [Em] I can't come,
[G] I will send me wife and then tell you [A] he really wants [D] her to come.
[Bm] To teach a raw man how [Em] plenty fun [A] in this great island [D] in the sun.
_ [G] But when his guardian [A] as boring as [G] to be called,
[Bm] it doesn't matter whether big [G] or small,
or if you're rich or poor, friend, we'll [C#m] cater for [D] one and all.
So all of [E] them we're [G] talking, [A] they're either drunk or they're [D] staring mad.
_ [G] Or maybe [E] they're forgetting that the [A] universe belongs to [Gm] strangers.
And [F#] yet, we have men of talents and skill,
[Bm]
with high hopes of improving still.
[G] And if you think all this [Bm] is a lie,
leave [Em] my sniper gun, [G] tell you why, now our steam van [A] is the best talent [Bm] in the world.
Like all the stories our [E] stories are told,
[A] with the great uncle [D] Patrick's soul.
_ [G] So Trinidad, [A] this lovely land [Bm] of my birth,
small but overwhelming [Em] growth,
[G] and of you know carnival [A#] is the greatest for little [G] love.
