ALABAMA '69
As recorded by Humble Pie
(From the 1969 Album AS SAFE AS YESTERDAY IS)
[Intro]
E
Yep, this one's called "Alabama 69"
[Verse 1]
E A
I come from Alabama and I work a ten pound hammer
E B
And my woman's picking cotton for the boss man on the hill
E
They work us till they break our back
A
Beat us cos our skin is black
E B E
I guess I'll have to slave till the whip is in the grave
[Chorus]
A E
Yeah, when will we be free
F#m
I wanna walk down any road
B
And feel I have my liberty
[Verse 2]
E
Well, from day to day I live to die
A
The scars across my back don't lie
E
Ain't there anyone out there
B E
To hear my freedom cry
[Harmonica Solo]
E
[Verse 3]
E A
Well, I believe a man's a man who earns his pay as best he can
E B
The color of his skin don't mean he ain't just like you
E
Yeah, but white folk here don't give a hell
A
They think that we were born to smell
E
Of sweat and dust and dirt
B E
Or plough until we die
A
Hallelujah, let me hear you now
[Chorus]
A E
When will we be free
F#m
I wanna walk down any road
B
And feel I have my liberty
