When Israel was in Egypt's land

When Israel was in Egypt's land

(Text und Akkorde für Gitarre)

     Am  E7        Am       
When Israel was in Egypt's land 

E7            Am 
Let my people go 

  Am         E7        Am  
Oppressed so hard they could not stand 

E7            Am 
Let my people go 

 
Refrain: 
Am       Dm     E7  
Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt's land 

Am                E7            Am 
Tell old Pharaoh, Let my people go 

 
   Am    E7      Am        
So Moses went to Egypt's land 

E7            Am 
Let my people go 

   Am       E7      Am  
To make old Pharaoh understand 

E7            Am 
Let my people go 

 
Refrain

 
     Am        E7         Am                
Thus spoke the Lord, bold Moses said,
 
E7            Am 
Let my people go, 

   Am        E7          Am 
If not, I'll strike your first born dead 

E7            Am 
Let my people go
