Born A Slave Chords

Capo:2nd fret

[Intro]
Em C D
 
[Verse 1]
Em                    C
I was born a slave in chains
       D
Didn't matter what my mother would say
Em                        C
She was killed and taken away
             D
It's getting harder to face the days
Em                        C
But in dark times I met a friend
             D
We said we'd stick together 'til the end
Em                               C
But then they came and took him away
        D                  Em
There's no way out of this pain
 
[Chorus]
Em            C                G
'Cause in the end it's all the same
       D                  Em
We all end up playing the game
             C             G
If you could fall from the sky
      D                 Em
Maybe you could save my life
 
[Verse 2]
Em                      C
I'm afraid of what's to come
                  D
Every day we fall one by one
Em                            C
Another night in the same old cell
    D
I'd rather be burning in hell
Em                       C
But in my dreams I see a light
           D
Where I am running free day and night
Em                              C
But then they came and took me away
        D                   Em
There's one way out of this pain
 
[Chorus]
Em            C                G
'Cause in the end it's all the same
       D                  Em
We all end up playing the game
             C             G
If you could fall from the sky
      D                 Em
Maybe you could save my life
 
[Bridge]
Em
 
[Chorus]
Em            C                G
'Cause in the end it's all the same
       D                  Em
We all end up playing the game
             C             G
If you could fall from the sky
      D
Maybe you could save my life
Em     C                G
In the end it's all the same
       D                  Em
We all end up playing the game
             C                  G
If you could fall down from the sky
      D                 Em       C
Maybe you could save my life
G         D                 Em
And maybe you could save my life
 
[Outro]
                      C
I was born a slave in chains
       D
Didn't matter what my mother would say
Em                                      C
But then you came and saved me from the knife
          D
And I can finally live my life
