Oppression by Ben Harper

>From the album Fight For Your Mind Ben plays it on a Martin 00-18,and it's All finger picked.Notice that the guitar Is tune a step lower than standard. Transcription I. Lindsay

Oppression you prey on us

when we sleep

oppression you chase after

the tired the poor the weak

oppression you know

you mean only harm

oppression you reach out

with your long arm

but oppression I won't let

you near me_______

oppression you shall learn

to fear me______

(Sweep)

(Sweep)

Rest of the lyrics (they fit in the same way As above) :

Oppression You seek population control Oppression To divide and to conquer is your goal Oppression I swear that hatred is your home Oppression You just won't leave bad enough alone

But oppression I won't let you near me Oppression You shale learn to fear me

Oppression I don't see how you sleep Oppression For your bleeding conscience I weep Oppression You may have the dollar on your side But oppression From the gospel truth you cannot hide And oppression I won't let you near me Oppression You shall learn to fear me Oppression You shall fear me
