KALEO - Free the Slave: chords

Am
Meet me by the riverside
Later on the day
F                             Dm
Gonna watch the hanging of an honest man
Am
They say he ain't the guilty one
But someone has to pay
F                               Dm
They will not be pleased before they see him hang

Chorus:
               Am
As he cries out
Turn and face the crowd
               F
As he cries out
Dm
No one makes a sound
               Am
As he cries out
Before he hits the ground
            F
He cries out
Dm
Where's your spirit now?
F
Drown me in the river
G
String me from the tree
Dm                             Am
Won't you free the slave in me?

F     G Am
Oh, oh

Leave me when the time is near
Leave me be in peace
This is not the way you should remember me
Have you nothing else to say?
Final words of truth
Forgive them, father
For they know not what they do

Chorus:
As he cries out
Mercy can't be found
As he cries out
No one makes a sound
As he cries out
Before he hits the ground
He cries out
Where's your savior now?
Throw me in the ocean
Cast me in the sea
Won't you free the slave in me?

Don't you know, don't you know?
    Dm       C      E7           Am
Whoa, they're gonna come for you
You can run, run on out
    Dm       C      E7        Am
Oh, they're gonna come for you
                    Dm C E7 Am
Until you bleed, oh
                    Dm C E7 Am
Until you bleed, oh
F
Dark days are coming
G                        Am
Dark days so you should take shelter
            D
You should take shelter
F
Dark days are coming
G                Dm
Dark days are here

Is your conscience clear?
Have you seen the brave man
Hanging from a tree?
Say, who will be the first to see?
