Capo on 1st fret
[Verse1]
[Em]Papa, he was [D/F#]gone tryna [G]make a [C]dime
Mama kept us [G]warm when [D/F#]there was no [Em]sunshine
I was busy building [D/F#]up a [G]repu[C]reputation
Did a lot of [D]things out of despe[Em]desperation
Back up on my [D/F#]feet, got the [G]moti[C]motivation
Now I found my [G]faith and a [D/F#]good vi[Em]vibration
|Em |D/F# G|C |G D/F#|
|Em |D/F# G|C |D |
[Pre-chorus]
Search for [Em]you, lover, cre[D/F#]creation
[G]When you're feeling [C]down in this place, just re[G]replace them [D/F#]
Keep a [Em]vision on the one you've been [D/F#]chasing [G]
When the [C]time comes we'll run to the [D]station
We've been [Em]laced with the powers of cre[D/F#]creation [G]
So when the [C]sun sets, you bet you must [G]face them [D/F#]
Remember [Em]when we were running 'cross the [D/F#]nation [G]
We were [C]living for the here and [D]now
[Chorus]
You can't [Em]catch [G]me
I'll be [C]gone by the time they come [D]
You can't [Em]catch [G]me
The [C]war is already won [D]
Even though the [Em]children have sold their [G]guns
We must re[C]remember the fallen ones [D]
[Em]Remember the fallen ones [G] [C] [D]
[Verse2]
[Em]Raised in the [D/F#]capital of [G]Port-au-[C]Port-au-Prince
Born with them [G]pillars and the[D/F#]them tene[Em]tenements
Papa used to [D/F#]run from the [G]immi[C]immigration
When we got to the [D]United Station [Em]
A teen under [D/F#]pressure, had to [G]blend in[C]in
Before the [G]guitar I had [D/F#]to back [Em]in
|Em |D/F# G|C |G D/F#|
|Em |D/F# G|C |D |
[Pre-chorus]
Thanks for [Em]you, lover, cre[D/F#]creation
[G]When you're feeling [C]down in this place, just re[G]replace them [D/F#]
Keep a [Em]vision on the one you've been [D/F#]chasing [G]
When the [C]time comes we'll run to the [D]station
We've been [Em]laced with the powers of cre[D/F#]creation [G]
So when the [C]sun sets, you bet you must [G]face them [D/F#]
Remember [Em]when we were running 'cross the [D/F#]nation [G]
We were [C]living for the here and [D]now
[Chorus]
You can't [Em]catch [G]me
I'll be [C]gone by the time they come [D]
You can't [Em]catch [G]me
The [C]war is already won [D]
Even though the [Em]children have sold their [G]guns
We must re[C]remember the fallen ones [D]
[Em]Remember the fallen ones [G] [C] [D]
