Manifest Destiny

Intro : Bm7 A#°  Em9  ( Em7 G7M 

A#° )

Bm7                       A#°
Four hundred years or more
Em9                      ( Em7 G7M
Since you came to crucify
 A#° )

Bm7                              A#º
They were taken far away from home
Em9                        ( Em7 
There were promises of paradise
G7M A#° )

                          Bm7
But if they had been told that day
                  A#°
They would be told that this way
Em9                          ( Em7
To satisfy the souls of chosen man
  G7M A#° )

                          Bm7
See I had to look carefully
Continues after the ad
                 A#°
At the shame of my ancestry
Em9                           ( 
To redefine the storyline again
Em7 G7M A#° )


           Am7
If I was taken for a day
       Gm7
And shown another day
    Cm7                        
Every child can learn a different 
Dbm9
thing
           Am7
See I tried a million times
        Gm7
But I had to change my mind
   Cm7                       Dbm9
Sadness was the best thing I could 
bring
          Am7                      
On the inside he was dead and this 
            Gm7
is what he said
    Cm7                     Dbm9
As he took away the blue above the 
clouds
         Am7                       
Oh, superiority was clearly meant 
      Gm7
to be
    Cm7                        
So destiny will manifest in 
Dbm9 ( Cm7 Bm7 )
time

( Bm7 A#° Em9   ( Em7  G7M  A#° ) )
So where has all the love gone?
A troubled trail of tears will tell 
the tale
Of how I was put down where I don't 
belong
Woman, child and man for sale
For ethical slavery is just an 
absurdity
How can you be alive when you are 
dead
With these chains of hipocrisy
The shame of my ancestry
Forever strained in blood in which 
you tread
