Sade - Pearls

[Intro]
Gm7 F Ebmaj7 Dsus4 D7
Gm7 Gm F Ebmaj7 Dm D7

[Verse 1]
Gm
There is a woman in Somalia
F
Scraping for pearls on the roadside
Eb Ebmaj7
There’s a force stronger than nature
D D7
Keeps her will alive
Gm
This is how she’s dying
F
She’s dying to survive
Eb
Don’t know what she’s made of
Dsus4 D
I would like to be that brave

[Chorus]
Dm7 Cm7 Dm7
She cries to the heaven above
Cm7 Dm7
There is a stone in my heart
Cm7 Dm7
She lives a life she didn’t choose
Cm7 Dm7 D7
And it hurts like brand-new shoes
Gm Gm7 F Ebmaj7 D D7
Hurts like brand-new shoes

[Verse 2]
Gm
There is a woman in Somalia
F
The sun gives her no mercy
Ebmaj7
The same sky we lay under
D Dsus4 D7
Burns her to the bone
Gm7
Long as afternoon shadows
F
It’s gonna take her to get home
Ebmaj7
Each grain carefully wrapped up
Dsus4 D
Pearls for her little girl

[Bridge]
Gm F
Hallelujah
Ebmaj7 D5 D
Hallelujah

[Chorus]
Cm7 Dm7
She cries to the heaven above
Cm7 Dm7
There is a stone in my heart
Cm7 Dm7
She lives in a world she didn’t choose
Cm7 Dm
And it hurts like brand-new shoes
D7 Gm7 F Eb D D7
Hurts like brand-new shoes

Gm F Eb D
