Backlash Blues Chords by Nina Simone

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ Mr.
Backlash, Mr.
Backlash, just who do you think I am?
You raise my taxes, freeze my wages, and send my son to Vietnam. _
[Eb] You give me second-class houses and second-class schools.
Do you think that all cuz folks are just second-class fools?
So, Mr.
[Fm] Backlash, I'm [Eb] gonna leave [Bb] you with a backlash flu.
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [Bb] _
When I try to find a job to earn a little cash,
[Eb] _
all you got to offer is your mean old white [Bb] backlash. _
[Eb] But the world is big, big and bright and [Bb] round,
and it's full of folks like me, who are black, yellow, beige, and brown.
[Fm] Mr.
Backlash, _ [Eb] I'm gonna leave you with a [Bb] backlash flu.

Mr.
Backlash, Mr.
Backlash, just what do you think I got to lose?
[Bb] I'm gonna leave you with a backlash flu.
_ [F]
You're the one who'll have the blues, [Eb] not me.
Just [Bb] wait and see.
