Manifest Destiny

Intro : Bm7 A#°  Em9  ( Em7 G7M A#° )

Bm7                       A#°
Four hundred years or more
Em9                      ( Em7 G7M A#° )
Since you came to crucify
Bm7                              A#º
They were taken far away from home
Em9                        ( Em7 G7M A#° )
There were promises of paradise
                          Bm7
But if they had been told that day
                  A#°
They would be told that this way
Em9                          ( Em7  G7M A#° )
To satisfy the souls of chosen man
                          Bm7
See I had to look carefully
                 A#°
At the shame of my ancestry
Em9                           ( Em7 G7M A#° )
To redefine the storyline again

           Am7
If I was taken for a day
       Gm7
And shown another day
    Cm7                        Dbm9
Every child can learn a different 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                                  Gm7
On the inside he was dead and this is what he said
    Cm7                     Dbm9
As he took away the blue above the clouds
         Am7                             Gm7
Oh, superiority was clearly meant to be
    Cm7                        Dbm9 ( Cm7 Bm7 )
So destiny will manifest in 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
