Taught To Be Proud

      Em           C           D 
I was taught to be proud of where
          G
 I come from
C           D         Em         
And I'm so sad that I'm the only 
 A
one.
Em             C              
Like a cold preacher boy talking 
     D        G
only to himself
C            D                A 
How did he think that he got to 
         A       A
promised lands?

Sometimes I'm confused and I don't 
know where I'm going,
Mistaking gentle rivers for that 
cold wind a-blowing.
I'm always sure of an angel when she
 gets here,
But I never see her coming and I 
miss her when she disappears.



Chorus:

D             C
Gone, gone, gone,
Continues after the ad
G              D
Not gone for long,
            D            C    
If you're taught to be proud of 
       G           D
where you come from.

Gone, gone, gone,
Not gone for long,
If you're taught to be proud of 
where you come from.



Verse 2:

       Em        C             
It's hard to be cool when you're 
      D               G
playing for the prophets;
       C       D             Em  
They really know if you got it or
          A
 you lost it.
       Em         C               
I'll sing this song but I don't 
D                 G
know where it came from,
   C                D         
Reminds me of a mountainside to 
        A            A       A
stand upon and gently hum.



Chorus



Verse 3:

Sometimes I'm confused
I don't know where I'm going,
Mistaking gentle rivers for that 
cold wind a-blowing.
And I'm always sure of an angel when
 she gets here,
But I never see her coming and I 
miss her when she disappears.
