Easy, just play the barred C chord arpeggiated, hit the chord,

slide down to B, hit it twice, then quickly switch to the regular C

chord. I wish I could make it sound as simple on paper as it really is...

Oh oh

She's the refugee

I see your face

I see you staring back at me

Oh oh

She's the refugee

Her mama say one day

(Riff A)

She's gonna live in America

In the morning

Waiting for the ship to sail

Sail away

(Riff A)

Oh oh

Help me

(C)

In the evening

(Bb)

She is waiting

(C)

Waiting for her man to come

(Bb)

And take her by her hand

(C)

And take her to this promise land

(Riff A)

Oh oh

She's a pretty face

(Riff A)

Born at the wrong time

In the wrong place

(Riff A)

Oh oh

She's a pretty face

(Riff A)

Her mama say one day

She's gonna live in America

Yeah, America

Oh oh

She's a refugee

She's coming down

She come and keep you company

Oh oh

She's a refugee

Her mama say one day

She's gonna live in America
