   [Verse 1]
Bm7                        C     D
Up a cane river to wash my dread
Bm7                   C    D
Upon a rock I rest my head
Bm7                                C           G/B
There I vision through the seas of oppression, oh-oo-wo!
Am7                  D
Don't make my life a prison

We come from Trench Town, Trench Town (Trench town)
                       Bm7    Am7
Most of them come from Trench Town
G           Bm7         Em
We free the people with music (sweet music)
G               Bm7         Em
Can we free the people with music (sweet music)?
G               Bm7         Em
Can we free our people with music? - With music
Em7         Em
With music, oh music

Bm7      C    D
Oh-y, my head
Bm7                               C    D
In desolate places we'll find our bread
Bm7                            C      G/B
And everyone see what's taking place, oh-oo-wo!

   [Verse 3]
Bm7                   C    D
They say it's hard to speak
Bm7                               C    D
They feel so strong to say we are weak
Bm7                                  C       G/B
But through the eyes the love of our people, oh-oo-wo!

That's what they say, (Trench town); (Trench - Trench town)
Bm7                                                  Am7
Say (Trench - Trench town) we're the underprivileged people
Bm7                              Am7
So (Trench town) they keep us in chains

Not because we come from Trench Town
Am7                        Bm7    Am7
Just because we come from (Trench town) [fadeout]
