Am7    Bm7     Am7           Bm7                 Am7
Slave driver,  the table is turned, (catch a fire).
        Bm7  Am7             Bm7
Catch a fire, so you can get burned, now,
              Am7
(catch a fire).
       Bm7   Am7            Bm7                  Am7
Slave driver,  the table is turned, (catch a fire).
        Bm7  Am7               Bm7
Catch a fire,  you're gonna get burned,
              Am7
(catch a fire).

Bm7                   Am7           Bm7
Ev'rytime I hear the crack of a whip; my blood
   Am7
runs cold.
Bm7        Am7                Bm7
I remember on the slave ship, how they brutalise
    Am7
our very souls.
Bm7                  Am7        Bm7
Today they say that we are free;  only to be chained
    Am7
in poverty.
Bm7                        Am7
Good God, I think it's il-literacy;
Bm7                       Am7
it's only a machine that makes money.

Chorus:
(Slave Driver)
The table has turned, y'all
(Ooooohhhhh Oooohhhh Ooohhh)
(Slave Driver, ugh)
The table has turned, baby now! (Catch a fire)
(Catch a fire)
So you can get burned, baby now! (Catch a fire)
(Slave Driver)
The table is turned y'all (Catch a fire)
(Catch a fire)
So you can get burned now (Catch a fire)

Every time I hear the crack of a whip
My blood runs cold
I remember on the slave ship
How they brutalize our very souls
(Ooooohhhhh Oooohhhh Ooohhh-Oohh Oooohhhh Ooohhh)
Oh God have mercy on our souls!
(Oohh Oooohhhh Ooohhh)
Oh!

Chorus:
Slave Driver
The Table has turned, y'all (Catch a fire)
Catch a Fire (Catch a fire)
So you can get burned
(Catch a fire)
Slave Driver (Slave driver)
The table has turned, y'all (Catch a fire)
Catch a Fire
So you can get burned (Catch a fire)
