Curtis Mayfield - The Underground chords
Start Jamming...
We now have to deal with our own self-destruction.
We cannot live on the surface of our earth any longer.
There is now pollution in every natural mineral and material taken from the land.
We have truly become [Ebm] a vast wasteland.
[F] And now [Em] underground.
[D]
How will we deal with our [G] society of discrimination among people?
[E] Near to [D] hell.
It's just as well.
[Bm] [Db] What will become of [B] our children?
[Bm] Underground.
The

from me inside.
[D] [B] There's future [Bm] fossil
for the underground.
[E] [Abm]
Lonely [Bm] sun
for an eternal man.
Future fossil
for the man she sees.
[B] There'll be [Bm] equal state

by what he is right.

We'll [Bm] all turn black, black, black, black, black.
So who's to know
as a matter of fact
how the creed and greed must go.
