Elephant
[verse 1]
Eb
I hear the children play
Fm
With the guards of the jail
Ab
With the guards of the jail
Eb
With the guards of the jail
Eb
I’m thinking of a new name
Fm
That I could give myself
Ab
One day I’ll be myself
Eb
Oh, one day I’ll be my own
Eb
It’s been forty long years
Fm
In the desert I have been
Ab
I’ve even hit the devil’s nose
Eb
In the desert I have grown
[pre chorus]
Eb
And as the woman said
Fm
That day when I was crying out
Ab
God puts his diamonds in the sand
Eb
But then he always takes them back
[chorus]
Eb
Have a good day brother
Ab
Me and your sister will rise up
Bb
Like an elephant from the mud
Ab
In your carefree sleep
Cm
We will break free
Cm
We will break free
Eb
Have a good day brother
Ab
Me and your little bro will rise up
Bb
Like an elephant from the storm
Ab
In your carefree sleep
Cm
We will break free
Cm
We will break free
[verse 2]
Eb
And the city will be reborn
Fm
And the streets will be washed
Ab
May the streets be clean and washed
Eb
May the streets be clean and washed
Eb
And we will wave our hand
Fm
And everybody will forgive the past
Ab
And everybody will forgive the past
Eb
And everybody will forgive the past
[pre chorus]

And as the woman said

That day when I was crying out

God puts his diamonds in the sand
