Tea Leaf Green - Taught to be Proud

      
 
 Verse 1:
 
       Em           C           D           G 
 I was taught to be proud of where I come from
 C           D         Em          A  
 And I'm so sad that I'm the only one.
 Em             C                   D        G   
 Like a cold preacher boy talking only to himself
 C            D                A          A     A 
 How did he think that he got to promised lands?
 
 Sometimes I'm confused and I don't know where I'm going,
 Mistaking gentle rivers for that cold wind a-blowing.
 I'm always sure of an angel when she gets here,
 But I never see her coming and I miss her when she disappears.
 
 
 Chorus:
 
 D             C  
 Gone, gone, gone,
 G              D  
 Not gone for long,
             D            C           G           D  
 If you're taught to be proud of where you come from.
 
 Gone, gone, gone,
 Not gone for long,
 If you're taught to be proud of where you come from.
 
 
 Verse 2:
 
        Em        C                   D               G    
 It's hard to be cool when you're playing for the prophets;
        C       D             Em            A  
 They really know if you got it or you lost it.
        Em         C               D                 G   
 I'll sing this song but I don't know where it came from,
    C                D                 A            A      A 
 Reminds me of a mountainside to stand upon and gently hum.
 
 
 Chorus
 
 
 Verse 3:
 
 Sometimes I'm confused
 I don't know where I'm going,
 Mistaking gentle rivers for that cold wind a-blowing.
 And I'm always sure of an angel when she gets here,
 But I never see her coming and I miss her when she disappears.
