[Intro] Bm  C  Bm  C 
 
(Scoop, scoop, scoop, scoo-doo; Scoop, scoop wa-doo.) 
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  
             Bm      Am     Bm     Am  
We come from Trench Town (Trench Town)  
                       Bm     Am
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  
     G.          D               Em  
Lord we free the people with music  
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)
