I Hate the White Man Chords by Roy Harper

[Bm] Anyway, this is a _ _ _ song for the_
well there's no need to name them.
_ There's absolutely [B] no need to name them.
[D] _ _ [F#] They are who they think they are.
[D] _ _ [F#] Far _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [F#] _ [Bm] across the ocean
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [F#] In the land of look [Bm] and see
_ _ [D] _ _
[F#] There once was [Bm] a time
_ _ [E] _
_ _ [A] For you and me _ _
[D] _ _ [F#] Where the [Bm] winds blow _ sweetly
_ [D] _ [F#] And the easy seas flow [Bm] _
still
[D] And where [F#] the barefoot [Bm] _
dream of life
[E] Can laugh and cry [A] its fill
_ _ _ [D] Where [F#] slot machine [Bm] _ confusion
And [D] the [F#] plastic _ [Bm] universe
_ [D] Are _ [F#] objects of [Bm] amusement
In the [E] fiction of [A] their curse
And _ [D] where the [F#] crazy white [Bm] man _ _
_ [D] _ And [F#] his tear gas [Bm] happiness _
Lies [D] _ [F#m] dead and long [Bm] since buried
By _ [E] his own [A] fantastic mess
I _ [D] _ [F#] _ _ _
[Bm] hate the white man
_ [D] _ [F#] And his [Bm] plastic excuse
_ _ [D] _ [F#] Oh I [Bm] _ hate the white _ _ [G] man
And the [F#] man _ who [Bm] turned him _ [F#m] loose _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ [F#] And the rains of [Bm] coloured thunder
Of [D] _ [F#] the stallion [Bm] of the dawn
_ _ [D] _ [A] Ride [F#] the coal [Bm] fire morning
On [E] the beach where all [A] is born
Where _ [D] the [F#] emperor _ [Bm] of meaning
[D] Is _ [F#]
burning [Bm] up his fort
And _ [D] _
[F#] sits to warm [Bm] his toes
Around [E] a fire made up of useless [A] thought
And _ [D]
when [F#] the children tempt [Bm] him
With _ [D] _
[F#] the riddles of their [Bm] trance _ _ _
[D] He [F#] flings the flames [Bm] of solstice _ _
[E] Casting laughs into [A] their dance
And [D] _ where [F#] the crazy [Bm] white man
In _ [D] _ [F#] the desert of [Bm] his bones _
_ [D] _ [F#] Lies as [Bm] bleached as the paradise
[E] He likes to think he [A] _
owns
[D] And [F#] I hate [Bm] the white man
_ [D] And [F#] his [Bm] evergreen excuse
[D] Oh _ [F#] I _ [Bm]
hate the white _ _ [G] man
[F#] And the man who [Bm] turned him _ [F#m]
loose
And _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ [F#] far across [Bm] the reaches
Of [D] the [F#] drifting yellow [Bm] sands
The [D] _ [F#] living [Bm] carpet _ wilderness
[E] Forever joins [A] its hands
With [D] _ _ [F#] heaven's [Bm] hell's attainment _
_ [D] _ [F#] In a surging [Bm] crest of fire
Where [D] _ more [F#] than all is [Bm] thrown
[E] Upon the _ everlasting [A] pyre
_ _ [D] And [F#] through the countless [Bm] canticles
Of [D] _ _ [F#] Jason's [Bm] charcoal fleece
_ _ [D] _ [F#] Are sung the songs of [Bm] nothing
In [E] the timeless _ [A] masterpiece
And _ [D] _ [F#m] there stood in the [Bm] middle, guess who
_ [D] It's the [F#] everlasting [Bm]
bust
_ _ [D] Built [F#] by God's very [Bm] own white man
As [E] he tries to [A] rule the dust
_ _ [D] And [F#] I hate [Bm]
the white man
[D] And [F#] his [Bm] doctrinaire refuse
[D] Oh [F#] I [Bm] hate the white _ [G] man
And the [C#m] man [F#] _ who [Bm] turned you all [F#m]
loose
And _ _ _ _ _
[D] the [F#] bells [Bm] of his city
Have [D] been [F#] locked into a [Bm] safe _ _ _
[D] Where [F#] the spruce lanes on [Bm] the sidewalks
Are [E] defenders of [A] his faith _ _
[D] _ [F#] While back inside [Bm] his kitchen
The [D] _ [F#] bowler hat and long [Bm]-haired saint _ _
[D] _ [F#] Cleans with [Bm] soap and water
But [E] it's really just white [A] paint _ _ _
[D] While [F#] his gorgon-headed [Bm] scandal sheet _ _
[D] Presents [F#] its daily [Bm] bite
To [D] _ [F#] get the righteous [Bm] news-believers _
[E] _ Drugs to keep them [A] white
While _
[D] _ [F#] outside in [Bm] the whitewash _
[D] Well [F#] our guns are [Bm] always, always right
[D] The shooting [F#] star
[Bm] The summoned death's [E] dark angel
From [A] his night
And [D] _ [F#] I hate [Bm] the white man
[D] And his [F#] [Bm] evergreen excuse
Oh [D] _ [F#] I [Bm] hate the white _ _
[G] man
And the [F#] _ man who [Bm] turned you all [G] _ loose
And the [F#]
man who [Bm] turned him loose _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
