[D]
[Bb]
[F]
Knuckle down, love his skin It doesn't matter what color skin he's on
[Gm] Knuckle down, [A] knuckle down [Am] and love [D] that skin
[F] Knuckle down, love his face It doesn't matter if you win or lose a [G] little
face [F] Knuckle down [Am] and love [D] that race
[Gm] [Bb] Because one bright [Cm] morning the war [Gm] might end with a big bang, [C] big [Bb] bang
And you never [Cm] ever get yourself [Ab] another [Db] chance
[Bb] So who decides [Eb] who do and some of the who [Gm] do, how about people being different and also
[Fm] different Take [Gb] a morning off and touch [Db] your skin
Take [Gb] a little long piece of [Db] my self-esteem Soon [Gb] the whole world will be up [E] on their feet
Hand in hand say, [G] for my sake [Bb] won't you [C] put your [F] knuckles down, boy
Mind, mind, [G] for my sake [F] won't you [C] put [Bb] your [F] knuckles down, boy Don't, don't
[C] [F] Knuckle [C] down, [F] love her [C] skin [F] It doesn't matter what color [C] skin she's on
Knuckle down, [Gm] [F] knuckle [Am] down and [D] love that skin [F] Knuckle down, love her [C] face
[F] It doesn't matter if you win or lose a little [Gm] face
[F] Knuckle [Am] down and [D] love that race [Bb] Because one bright [Cm] morning just might [G] wake
When the coin drops, [F] coin [Bb] drops Even though you think that [Cm] love is such a
[Ab] boring
[Db] thing [F]
You, [C] you can burst all the smoke troughs
[G] As the people always have to be a-fightin' and a [Db]-writin'
Take a [Ebm] morning off and run to [Fm] the fields Blow on [Ebm] your horn until your hair breaks [Fm] how
yields Soon the [Ebm] whole world will lay down swords [E] and
shields For say, [G] for my sake [F] won't you put [Bb] your [F] knuckles
down, boy Mind, mind, for [G] my sake [Bbm] won't you put [G] your
[D] knuckles down,
[Bb]
boy
[Fm]
Take [Ebm] a morning off and run [Db] to the streets Take [Ebm] a little long to kick [Db] up some feet
Soon the [Ebm] whole world will wave upon [C] their feet
And let the dancing [G] for my sake won't [F] you put your knuckles down, boy
Mind, mind, for [G] my sake won't [C] you put your knuckles [F]
down, boy
Mind, [C] mind, for my [G] sake won't [F] you put your knuckles down
[Gm]
[Am] Put your knuckles down
