Verse 1
D
The last time I knew kindness
A
D
I was lying in my bed
Bm
With my mother's arms around me
A
D
and a soft voice in my head
G
Outside the cattle murmured
Bm
A
and the wind blew through the palms
D
Bm
The last time I knew kindness
G

D
G
A
I was in my mother's arms
D
Bm
My father always told me, boy,
A
D
don't go beyond the wood
Bm
There are bad men and they're waiting
G
A
D
and they'll take you if they could
G
You may recognize their skin
A
D
and you might re cognize their tongue
Bm
But they mean to steal your freedom
A
D
and they mean to sell you off
A
D
I'd never seen a white man
A
D
and I'd never seen the sea
G
A good man can't conceive
A
the evil things they've done to me
D
They strip me and they whip me
A
and they threw me in the hole
D
G
Where your pain means you're alive
A
D
and your salvation to be sold
A
Bm
Stolen away, stolen away,
G
D
A
D
G
stolen away
A

G
A
D
They packed us in so tightly
G
A
in the darkness and our dirt
D
G
The crying of my sister's brothers
A
D
dying from the hurt
G
The ship pulled into Bridgetown
A
where they brought us up on deck
D
G
Chained together by our hands and feet,
A
D
oh shackled by the neck
A
D
We feared we might be eaten
A
by these wicked ugly men
D
As they pinched our skin
G
and studied us and studied us again
A
D
They will brutalize and beat you
A
D
and your life and soul they'll waste
G
But the whites will never eat you,
A
D
not in keeping with their taste
A
Bm
Stolen away, stolen away,
G
D
A

G
They threw us back below the deck,
A
our terror was so great
D
G
That the wights called on the elders
A
D
to assure us of our fate
G
Not even your own death is yours,
A
D
they'll save you from yourself
From this day on your life
G
A
D
is just to supplement their wealth
A
D
They sold us off in parcels,
A
D
disregarding family ties
G
They tore brothers from their brothers,
A
they stole husbands from their wives
D
They stole mothers from their children,
A
love and friendship ripped apart
D
G
They broke wills and they broke bodies
A
D
They broke souls and they broke hearts
A
Bm
Stolen away, stolen away,
G
D
A
D
A
stolen away
