E                              
Looked out my window to the east 
       D4
this morning
         D                     
To the east there was a big old 
    E
cloud
E                      D4
This Hurricane had no name
            D                      
But it was sure to tear house from 
      E
the ground.

E                                 
It would take children from their 
    D4
mammas
         D                     E
No this terror don't discriminate
E                                 
But what's worse is the sickness 
  D4
it would leave behind
D                  E
mistrust confusion and hate.

[pre I]
F#m                 G#m          
We all look for salvation in the 
        A          B
seconds before the rain
F#m                  G#m         
Why not say a little prayer on 
    A
any old sunny day?

[chorus]
             E                 
Take me as I am. Take me to the 
     A
promised land.
              D                
Never let me go. Never leave me 
   E
lonely.
                 E                 
Take me to the river. Accompany me 
     A
to heaven.
                 D                 
Every one will know that you're my 
         E
one and only.


E                           D4
Little man why you play so hard,
          D                      
Like no brother ain never gon' do 
          E
nothing good?

            E                D4
It's such a shame when you act 
reckless
         D                         
Like no one never found love in no 
 E
hood.
  E                     D4
Lord knows there are snakes in the 
water
         D                      
And I've always had to fight for 
        E
what's mine.
      E                 D4
But I would never tell my daughter
        D                          
Being black means going and killing
        E
 my own kind.

[pre II]
F#m                 G#m           
I'm all about keeping it real and 
 A               B
death is a part of life...
F#m                          G#m 
But as long as we're here walking
                 A
 around why we singing about trying 
to die?


[chorus]
             E                 
Take me as I am. Take me to the 
     A
promised land.
              D                
Never let me go. Never leave me 
   E
lonely.
                 E                 
Take me to the river. Accompany me 
     A
to heaven.
                 D                 
Every one will know that you're my 
         E
one and only.



E                 D4
 It's gonna be alright
   D                        E
Just take my hand we'll go together
E              D4
 No need to go far
            D                    
What we've got right here this is 
   E
heaven
