ELEPHANT - LALEH
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
 
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
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
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
Eb               
And as the woman said
                           Fm
