C A N N O T B U Y M Y S O U L Capo on 5
[G]For 200 years us blacks are [G6]beaten down, too [C9]long on the [G]dole.
My [G]dignity I'm [G6]losing here, [C9]mentally I'm [D]old.
There's a [G]system here that [G6]nails us, ain't we [C9]left out in the [D]cold.
They [G]took our life and our [G6]liberty friend but they [C9]could not buy our [G]soul.
[G]Joe Hill died, Che Gue[G6]vara fought and [C9]Pemulwuy lay down [G]dead.
If a person speaks out [G6]critically here, you can [C9]get loaded down with [D]lead.
[G]How long can the [G6]majority wait for their [C9]story to un[D]fold.
They [G]took their life and [G6]liberty friend but they [C9]could not buy their [G]soul.
[G]The clever man spoke pre[G6]cisely, humanity he [C9]said was almost [G]done.
It's creed of greed could [G6]not proceed if our [C9]struggle's to be[D] one.
For [G]humanities more im[G6]portant here than that [C9]constant quest for [D]gold.
You may [G]take our life and [G6]liberty friend but you can [C9]never buy our [G]soul.
[G]Jesus woke one [G6]morning, rode a [C9]donkey up through that [G]gate.
He could see quite [G6]clearly why he was [C9]going to meet his [D]fate.
And the [G]powers that be, could [G6]see that he could [C9]not be bought or [D]sold.
They [G]took his life and [G6]liberty friend but they [C9]could not buy his [G]soul.
Another great song from a master songwriter.
