Pharaoh, Pharaoh, oh, baby, let my people go.
F    Gm                F
Uh! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I said:
  C           F   Gm   F            C        
Pharaoh, Pharaoh, oh, baby, let my people go.

Uh!  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

        C       F               Gm     F 
Well a burnin' bush told me the other day
     C         F         Gm        F
That I should come over here and stay
       C      F             Gm       F
Gotta get my people outta Pharaoh's hand
     C        F            Gm      F
And lead them all to the promised land. I said:

(repeat chorus)

         C            F             Gm         F
Well, a me an' God's people comin' to the Red Sea
      C       F           Gm     F 
And Pharaoh's army comin' after me.
   C         F           Gm      F
I raised my rod stuck it in the sand
    C             F            Gm              F
And all of God's people walked across the dry land. I said:

(repeat chorus)

          C       F          Gm     F  
Well, a Pharaoh's army is a comin' too,
     C           F        Gm     F
So what do you think that I did do?
   C         F          Gm          F
I raised my rod and I cleared my throat
    C                F              Gm          F
And all of Pharaoh's army did the "dead man’s float." I said:

(repeat chorus 2x , adding first line at the end)
