_ _ _ We people who [F#m] are darker than blue, _ [A] _ _
[C#m] are we gonna stand around this town _ [F#m] and let what
others say come true?
[A] _ _
[C#m] We're just good for nothing, [G#m] they all figure, _ [F#m] a boy's grown up shiftless jigger.
_ [C#m] Now we can't hardly [G#m] stand for that, _ [F#m] or is that really worth it? _
[C#m] _ _ We people who [F#m] are darker than blue, _ _ _ [C#m] this ain't no time for segregating, _ [F#m] I'm talking about
brown and yellow too. _
[C#m] How yellow, gal, can't [G#m] you tell?
_ [F#m] You're just the surface of our dark deep well.
_ [C#m] If your mind could [G#m] really see, _
_ [F#m] you'd know your color is same as me.
_ [C#m] _ _ [C#m] Pardon me brother, _ _ as you stand in your [F#] glory, _ [F#m] _
_ [C#m] I know [F#m] you won't mind [F#m] _
[C#m] if I tell the whole [F#] story.

_ [G#] _ [C#m] Get yourself [E] together, _ _
[C#m] learn to know [C#] your side, shall we commit our [C#m] own genocide, or
you check out your line? _
[C] I know we've all got [B] problems, [C#m] that's why I'm here to say, _ keep peace with [F#] me and [C#] I
with you, let me love in my [E] own way.

_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ Now I know _ [F#m] we have great respect [A] _
_ [C#m] for the sister and mother, _ it's even [F#m] better yet, _ _ [A] _
[C#m] but there's
the joker in the [G#m] street, _ _ loving one brother and killing the other.
_ [C#m] _ When the time comes [G#m] and we are really free, [F#m] there'll be no brothers left, [A] you see.
[C#m] _ _ We people who [F#m] are darker than blue, _ _ _ [C#m] don't let us hang around this town and [F#m] let what
others say come true. _ _
[C#m] We're just good for nothing, they all [G#m] figure, _ [F#m] a boy's grown up shitless jigger.
[C#m] _
_ Now we can't harness [G#m] them for that, _
_ [F#m] or is that really worth it?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
Pardon me [F#m] brother, _ _ _ while you [F#m] stand in your glory, _ _ [C#m]
I [F#m] know you won't mind _ _ [C#m] if I tell the [C#m] whole story. _ _ _ _
[F#m] Pardon me brother, _ _ _ I know we've come a long, long way, [C#m] _
but [A] let us not be so [B] satisfied, _
for [F#m] tomorrow can be an even brighter day. _ _ _ _ _ _
