D
I took my baby on a Saturday bang,
D
Boy is that girl with you?
D
Yes, weʼre one and the same.
G
Now I believe in miracles,
DGGGDGGGD
and a miracle has happened tonight.
A
But, if youʼre thinkinʼ about my baby,

it donʼt matter if youʼre black or white.

D
They print my message in the Saturday Sun,
D
I had to tell them, I ainʼt second to none.
G
And I told about equality,
DGGGDGGGD
and itʼs true, either youʼre wrong or youʼre right.
A
But, if youʼre thinkinʼ about my baby,
G
it donʼt matter if youʼre black or white.

D
Iʼm tired of this devil, Iʼm tired of this stuff,
GD
Iʼm tired of this business, so when the going gets rough.
D
I ainʼt scared of your brother, I ainʼt scared of no sheets,
GD
I ainʼt scared of nobody, girl when the goinʼ gets mean.
D
Protection for gangs, clubs, and nations,
D
causing grief in human relations.
D
Itʼs a turf war on a global scale,
D
Iʼd rather hear both sides of the tale.
D
See, itʼs not about races, just places, faces.
D
Where your blood comes from is where your space is.
D
Iʼve seen the bright get duller,
D
Iʼm not going to spend my life being a color.
G
Donʼt tell me you agree with me,
DGGGDGGGD
when I saw you kicking dirt in my eye.
A
But, if youʼre thinkinʼ about my baby,
GDGGGDGGGD
it donʼt matter if youʼre black or white.
A
I said, if youʼre thinkinʼ about my baby,
GDGGGDGGGD
it donʼt matter if youʼre black or white.
A
I said, if youʼre thinkinʼ of being my brother,
GDGGGDGGGD
it donʼt matter if youʼre black or white.
