G#m             D#
She's comin for you

                G#m
Hear the chains rattle

                 C#m
Turn you into a slave

                 G#m
Another piece of chattel

           C#m
Across the seas

D#7      G#m
Stormy waters

          C#m
Showed no mercy

        D#7     G#m
She was satan’s daughter

        C#m
Born to steal

D#7            G#m
With bodies to sell

            E   D#7
She had her own special

         G#m
Place in hell


   E  F#      G#m
Clotilda's on fire

    E      F#   G#m
Off the alabama coast

   E  F#      G#m
Clotilda's on fire

            E      D#       G#m
We’re still livin' with her ghost


D#  G#m


         G#m
She took souls

     D#m      G#m
On a horrible trip

            C#m
Her morning song

                   G#m
Was the crack of a whip

            C#m
Ones who survived

       D#        G#m
Died a long time ago

             C#m
Most of them buried

       D#7    G#m
Out at old plateau

                     C#m
But the pain and the memory

     D#       G#m
Will never go away

                  E
Her spirits still lives

D#                   G#m
By the shores of the bay



   E  F#      G#m
Clotilda's on fire

    E      F#   G#m
Off the alabama coast

   E  F#      G#m
Clotilda's on fire

            E      D#       G#m
We’re still livin' with her ghost


F#        E     G#m
She was a dirty secret

F#     E          G#m
Forgot but not forgiven

E
But the shame was so great

F#                 D#
She could not stay hidden

         E   F#   G#m
She's on fire....


E  F#  G#m

E  F#  G#m

E  D#  G#m

D# G#m


             G#m    D#m     
Her flame no longer lights up 

    G#m
atnight

              C#m                 
Now dreams survive and hope burns 

G#m
bright

             C#m       D#7    G#m
People still come from miles around

              E     D#       G#m
To praise the folks of africatown

                  C#m      D#
Who rose from the ashes of sad 

       G#m
history

           E      D#         G#m
To stand unchained proud and free


    E  F#      G#m
Clotilda's on fire

    E      F#   G#m
Off the alabama coast

   E  F#      G#m
Clotilda's on fire

            E      D#       G#m
We’re still livin' with her ghost


    E  F#      G#m
Clotilda's on fire

    E      F#   G#m
Off the alabama coast

   E  F#      G#m
Clotilda's on fire

            E
We're still livin'

                   D#
We’re still livin'

         G#m
With her ghost
