[G](Scoop, [Bm]scoo[Em]p,[Am][Bm][Em][Am][G][D]
[Bm]scoo[Am]p, sc[Bm]oo-doo;
[Am]Scoop, scoop [Bm]wa-doo)

[Verse 2]
Up a cane river to [Bm]wash my
[C]dre[D]ad;[Bm]
Upon a rock I rest [C]my [D]head[Bm]
There I vision through the seas of op[C]pression,
[Am]oh
Don't make my life a pris[D]on

[Verse 3]
We [D]come from [Bm]Trench [Em]Town,
[Am]Tren[Bm]ch Town (Tre[Em]nchtown)
Most of [Am]them come from [Bm]Trench [Em]Town[Am]
[G]We free the[D] people wit[Em]h
music (sweet music);
Can we [G]free the [D]people with
[Em]music? (sweet music)
[G]Can we free [D]our people [Em]with
music? With music,
With music, oh music
[Bm]

[Verse 4]
Oh why, my [C]head,[D][Bm]
In desolate places we'll find [C]our bread,
[D][Bm]
And everyone see what's taking [C]place,
[Am]oh
Another page in his[D]tory

[Verse 5]
We [D]come [Bm]from Trench [Em]Town,[Am]
Come [Bm]from [Em]Trench [Am]Town;
We come from [Bm]Trench [Em]Town
[Am]Lord, we free [G]the [D]people with[Em]
music (sweet music);
[Am]We free th[D]e people w[Em]ith
music (sweet music);
[G]We free our[D] people wit[Em]h music,
With music, oh music (oh music)
[Bm]

[Verse 6]
They say it's hard [Am]to
[C]spe[D]ak;[Bm]
They feel so strong to say
[C]we are [D]wea[Bm]k;
But through the eyes the love of our [C]people,
[Am]oh
They've got to repay
[D]

[Verse 7]
We come [Bm]from
[Am](Trenchtown) Trench Town;
We come [Bm]from (Trenchtown)
Trench Town;
[D]Trench, Trench [Am]Town[Bm][Am]
(Trenchtown)
[Bm]They say, "Can anything [D]good [Am]come out of
[Bm]Trench [Am]Town?"
(Trench, Trenchtown)
That's what they say,
[Bm](Tre[Am]nchtown);
Say (Trench, Trenchtown) we're
[Bm]the [Em]underprivi[Am]leged people,
So (Trenchtown) they
[Bm]keep us in [Am]chains:
[Bm]"Pay [Am](Trench, Trenchtown), pay, pay
tribute [Bm]to," [Em](Tren[Am]chtown)
We come [Bm]from[Am]
(Trench, Trenchtown);
We come [Bm]from
(Trench, Trenchtown));
Just be[Am]cause we come from
[Bm](Trenchtown)
Not be[Am]cause we come from
[Bm](Trenchtown)
Just because [Am]we come from (Trenchtown)
