Bm                          C      D          
Up a Cane river to wash my dread  
Upon a rock rest my head  
Bm                                     C         Bm  Am  
 There I vision through the seas of oppression,  oh-oo-wo! 
Am                    D              
 Don't make my life a prison

Most of them come from Trench Town  
G             D         Em  
We free the people with music, (sweet music)  
Can we free the people with music, (sweet music)  
Can we free our people with music, with music, 
With music, oh music  
Bm                C       D  
Whoa my head,  
In desolate places we'll find our bread  
Bm                               C   
 And everyone see what's taking place  
Bm   Am                 D  
Whoa-yo another page in history  
             Bm     Am.  Bm     Am
We come from Trench Town, (Trench Town)  
Most of them come from Trench Town

We free the people with music, (sweet music)  
We free the people with music, with music  
With music, oh music  
 
Bm                 C    D  
They say it's hard to speak  
They feel so strong to say wa're weak  
Bm                                    C  
But through the eyes the love of our people, oh-oo-wo!  
Bm   Am              D  
They got to repay  
             Bm    Am   
We come from (Trenchtown) Trench Town; 
We come from (Trenchtown) Trench Town; 
 
They say, "Can anything good come out of Trench Town?" (Trench - Trenchtown) 
That's what they say, (Trenchtown); (Trench - Trenchtown) 
Say (Trench - Trenchtown) we're the underprivileged people, 
So (Trenchtown) they keep us in chains: 
"Pay (Trench - Trenchtown) - pay - pay tribute to -" (Trenchtown). 
We come from (Trench - Trenchtown); 
We come from (Trench - Trenchtown); 
Just because we come from Trench Town. 
Not because we come from Trench Town; 
Just because we come from (Trenchtown)
