As I remember
Bm
It was four hundred years
F# Bm Gm
or more
D Em G
Since you came to crucify
D Bm
And they were taken far
away from home
Bbdim Gm D Bm D
There were promises of paradise
Asus4 A Bm
But if they had been told that day
Bbdim
That they would be sold that this way
Gm D Em D
To satisfy the souls of chosen men
Bm
See I had to look carefully
A#
At the shame of my ancestry
D A D Asus4
To redefine the storyline again
G
If I was

taken for a day
Asus4 Gm
And shown another way
C#m
Now every child can learn
C# Fm C# A
a different thing

See I tried a million times
A# Gm Dm
But I had to change my mind
Cm
Sadness was the best thing

So where has the love all gone
Gm Em Bm D G D
A troubled trail of tears will tell the tale

Gm D Bm D
Woman, child and man for sale
Bm A#
For ethical slavery is just an absurdity
A D Em
How can you be alive when
D G Asus4
you are dead
A Bm
With these chains of hypocrisy
A#aug A#dim Gm
The shame of my ancestry
D Bm
Forever stained by blood
D Asus4 A
in which you tread.

Jamiroquai grabó Manifest Destiny en 1993 y 1994, durante la grabación de su segundo álbum. La canción salió en 1994, dentro de The Return of the Space Cowboy, un disco que tuvo bastante éxito. La banda grabó en estudios de Londres, y la canción se escribió cuando Jay Kay leyó un libro sobre la historia de los nativos americanos. La letra habla de la injusticia que sufrieron, y la música tiene un toque de bronce y cuerdas. La canción se destacó por su ritmo suave y una introducción con instrumentos que le dan un toque especial. Es una de las canciones más conocidas del álbum, y sigue siendo popular en festivales y conciertos.
