Stephen Marley --Old Slaves Lyrics


Am                 Em                ( most of the song back and forth)
You wanna see my face? 
Look in my pains. 
Look in my pains. 
Look in my pains. 

You see them pains from yesterday? 
Look in my pains. 

And this morning feels so close to the past 
For just yesterday we were left in the dark 
And the downpression of those chains still weighs on your and my brain 

Can you see what I'm saying? 
Look in my pains. 

You see them pains from yesterday? 
Look in my pains. 

Was I born free? 
Was I born a slave? 
Look in my pains. 
Wanna see my pains? 
Look at my face. 

G                                                                                              C
With the whip upon your mind so your mind leads your soul astray. 
G                                                                   C
You can see that today we are all modern slaves. 
G                                                                                          C
We've been thinking that slavery is just from them ancient days, 
                                                 D
But that's the puppet master's game! can you see what I'm saying? 

(Back to Am - Em pattern)

Look in my pains. 


You see them pains from yesterday? 
Look in my pains. 
Look in my pains. 
How far have we gone from yesterday? 
Look in my pains. 

Look in my pains. 
And this morning feels so close close to the past 
For still yet today we are slaves in our yards 
Because oppression of those chains still weighs on my and your brain 

Should I gonna sing it again? 
Look in my pains. 

You see them pains from yesterday? 
Look in my pains. 

Was I born free? 
Are we all slaves? 
Look in my pains. 

How far have we gone from yesterday? 
Look in my pains.
