[D] This is a [Ab] new song.
Actually, this is a song that I wrote here in [Eb] London also [Ab] that [F] you probably haven't heard.
And [Fm] I hope that you'll listen to it as though you had heard it before.
[Cm]
[F] I wrote this on a houseboat on the Thames [Eb] River.
Some [Ab] folks say [Gm] the world [Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] ain't never [Gm] gonna [Eb] change.
[Ab] [Eb]
[Ab] To my [Eb] mind it's always [Ab] seemed a little [Fm] strange
[F] that [Fm] [Db]
people won't [Ab] do the things they know they ought [Eb] to.
[Ab]
Some [Gm] folks say the [Eb] world [Ab] ain't never gonna [Fm] change.
[C] But in my [Db] heart I [Bb] believe, [Ab] baby, [Gm] we got to.
[F] Oh, we [Db] can't afford not [Eb] to.
[Ab] The daytime's bright and [Gm] nighttime's wonderful
[C] and [Ab] twilight never really [Eb] brings them to heaven.
[Ab] White is right [G] and black is [Gm] beautiful, [Cm] Lord.
Where [F] does brown [Fm] begin?
Tell [F] me, people, [Ab] where does [Eb] brown [Bb] [Ab] begin?
Fire and [G]
[Ab] ice, and so they [Fm] say.
[C] But [Db] I've seen the steam [Bb] clouds [Ab] floating high and [Gm] free.
[Fm]
Salt and [Eb] pepper don't get [Ab]
in each other's way.
You know, [C]
they just [Db] cook together.
[Ab]
And when they don't [Gm] agree, [F] they just [Db] let each other be.
[Ab] The daytime's bright and [Gm] nighttime's wonderful
[C] and [Cm] twilight never really [Eb] brings them to any end.
[Ab] If white is right [G] and [Gm] black is beautiful, Lord,
[Cm] tell me, where [Ab] can brown [C] begin?
Tell me, people, [Fm] where [Eb] does [Ab] brown [Bb]
begin?
[Fm] [F]
[Ab] [Fm]
[F] Someday there'll be a man
[Eb]
[Bb] floating between [Eb] stars on [Bb] wings of light.
[Db] A [Ab] universal [Bb] man, [Eb]
[Db] a [Gb] universal man, [Eb]
a [D] golden [Fm] man.
[Bbm] But where can brown begin?
Tell me, people, where can [Eb] brown [Fm]
begin?
