CHOICE OF COLOURS - THE IMPRESSIONS - CLASS SOUL chords
Start Jamming...
[C#]
If you had a choice of colors, which one would [G#] you [C#] choose, my brothers?
If there was no day or night, which would you prefer to be right?
How [B] long have you hated [F#] your white teacher?
[B]
[F#] Who told [B] you you loved [F#] your black preacher?
Do you [C#] respect your brother's woman friend and share with black folks not of kin?
People must [G#m] prove to the people a [F#m] better day is coming
[A] [E] For you and for me [C#] with just a little bit more [G#m]
education
And [F#m] love for our nation [E] would make a better society
[C#] Now some of us would rather cuss and make a fuss
Than to bring about a little trust
But we shall overcome, I believe, someday
If you'll only listen to what I have to say
How [F#] long have you hated your white teacher?
Who told you you loved your black preacher?
Can [C#] you respect your brother's woman friend and share with black folks not of kin?
I say now people must [G#m] prove to the people a [F#m] better day is coming
[E] For you and for me [C#] with just a little bit [G#m] more education
[F#m] And love for our nation [E] would make a better society
And if you had [C#] a choice of colors, which one would [G#] you [C#] choose, my brothers?
If there was no day or night, which would you prefer to be right?
And if you had a choice of colors, which one would you choose, my brothers?
If there was no day or night, which would you prefer to be right?
If you had a choice of colors, which one would you choose?
