Sefronia shook the black cat's bone at me
G(no 3d)            F7
And I was only wax in the spell of fire
Abmaj7            G7sus
Oh my coal black nigger
F7                   Bbm7    C#          C
When black coal burns it ripens into a rose
 
C9                               F7
She pried the whip out of her master's hand
C9
And lashed at her own skin
F7            C9
So she'd be master
           C#   C   F7
How could she know this was just a dream
Bbm7      Bb7      Bbm7        C    Bbm7 Bb7 Bbm7  C
born of a new knot in the bullwhip
 
C9 = x32330   G(no 3d)= 3x0033  Abmaj7 = 4x554x  Bbm7= x13121

I couldn't buy you with a hundred cattle
Bb                Bbo        Bb11
But you hike in shells and feathers
        Bb
up the African beach
                 Ab                 Bb
I am king here, tied to this hut by the King's Chain
                         F    Fo     F11      F
My power's like a tree, and green's taboo to me
F              Fo   F11              F
The chameleon lies in your dusty fingers
Bb       Bbo        Bb11        Bb
and the blue flies circle your head like stars
                     F    Fo  F11      F      F Fo F11 F
Let me sip weakness from your dark nipples
