[A]
[G] [C] [D] From this [Bb] house on Clifton [D] I [C] see ships [Am] under sail
[D] Through sink walls to [Bb] the harbour [C] Tied up in the baseline
[A] A dozen floating [Dm] jails, [D] profit and promotion [Am] Oh no no
[G] [Am] I steer a Bristol [F] of slaver [D] Selling lives across the ocean
[Am] Oh no no [D] No [Am] man on earth [F] can save you
[Dm] Into my [Bb] house in Clifton [D] [C] I bring capital [Am] from pain
[D] Trinkets to Africa, [Bb] slaves to Jamaica [D] [C] Rum and [D] tobacco [A] back again and [D] again
For profit and promotion [A] Oh no [D] no
[Am] I steer a Bristol [F] of slaver [D] Selling lives across the ocean
[A] Oh no no [G] [D] [C] No man on earth [F] can save [C] you
[F] [C] Off [G]
[F] [C] [G]
[Dm] Cape Verde we [Bb] lay an anchor [Dm]
[C] [Am] Crammed from stern to stern
[D]
Soon we sail [Bb] for Kingston [Dm]
[C] Torn away from [G] Africa [A] never to [Dm] return
I curse the Bristol of slaver [Am] Oh no no
[G] As [C] we steer [F] towards the west May [D] he sail the seas forever
[Am] Oh no no [G] May [C] his spirit never [F] rest
[Dm]
Came here in [Bb] the 50's
[C] I grew up in [Am] St Paul's
[Dm] Sunlight's a waltz [Bb] removed [C] There's a voice in the darkness
[A] It echoes from the walls [Dm] Profit and promotion
[Am] Oh no no [G] I steer a Bristol [F] of slaver
[Dm] Selling lives across the ocean [Am] Oh no no
[G] No [Am] man on earth [F] can save you
[D] From profit and promotion [Am] Oh no [G] no
[C] I steer a Bristol [F] of slaver [D] Selling lives across the ocean
[Am] Oh no no [G] [C] No man [Am] on [Dm] earth can save [C] you
