_ 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 [Bb] schools.
Do you think that all colored folks are just second-class fools?
Mr.
[Fm] Backlash, [Eb] I'm gonna leave you with [Bbm] a backlash blues.
[Bb] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
When I try to find a job to earn a little cash,
[Bb] all you got to offer is your mean old white backlash.
[Eb] But the world is big, big and bright and round,
[Bb] and it's [Bb] full of folks like me,
we're black, yellow, beige, and brown.
[Fm] Mr.
Backlash, _ [Eb] I'm gonna leave you with a [Bb] backlash blues.

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