We people who are darker than blue,

Are we gonna stand around this town

FA#m7

And let what others say come true?

DO#m7                 SOL#m7

We're just good for nothing they all figure,

FA#m7

A boyish, grown-up, shiftless jigger.

n.c. (drums and bass)

DO#m7

Get yourself together, learn to know your side. Shall we commit our own genocide before you check out your mind? I know we've all got problems, that's why I'm here to say, Keep peace with me and I with you, let me love in my own way.

There'll be no brothers left you see.

Or is that really where it's at?

DO#m7       FA#m7          DO#m7             FA#m9

Pardon me, brother, while you stand in your glory,

DO#m7             FA#m7   DO#m7            FA#m9

I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story.
