* If someone can tab that wailing harp solo in this song...that would be great. 5 5 5 4 -4 -4 4 Been a slave most all my life 5 5 5 4 -4 -4 4 So's my kids, and so's my wife 4 4 4 4 4 4 3 -3 4 I've been work-ing on the Col-onel's farm 4 4 4 4 4 3 -3 4 Ain't been mis-treated, ain't done no harm 4 4 4 4 -4 -4 4 I'll be a slave to my grave 4 4 4 4 -4 -4 4 No need of me be-ing free Recollect when I was just fourteen Freedom used to be my biggest dream I'm older now, lot wiser too If I was free what would I do The Colonel's been right good to me He's taken care of my family The Colonel rode the buggy in from town Hitched the horse and called us all around Said he couldn't keep us here no more I saw a tear as he walked toward the door Oh Dear God, what did he say? Now I am free to go my way |
