Intro: C F F F C F F F C x4

C
I took my baby on a Saturday bang,
 C
Boy is that girl with you?
C
Yes, weʼre one and the same.
    F
 Now I believe in miracles,
                        C F F F C F F F C
and a miracle has happened tonight.
                 G
But, if youʼre thinkinʼ about my baby,
          F
it donʼt matter if youʼre black or white.

C F F F C F F F C x2

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

C F F F C F F F C x4

C
Iʼm tired of this devil, Iʼm tired of this stuff,
                                       F          C
Iʼm tired of this business, so when the going gets rough.
C
I ainʼt scared of your brother, I ainʼt scared of no sheets,
                                       F          C
I ainʼt scared of nobody, girl when the goinʼ gets mean.

 C
Protection for gangs, clubs, and nations,
 C
causing grief in human relations.
 C
Itʼs a turf war on a global scale,
 C
Iʼd rather hear both sides of the tale.
 C
See, itʼs not about races, just places, faces.
 C
Where your blood comes from is where your space is.
 C
Iʼve seen the bright get duller,
 C
Iʼm not going to spend my life being a color.

       F
Donʼt tell me you agree with me,
                              C F F F C F F F C
when I saw you kicking dirt in my eye.
                 G
But, if youʼre thinkinʼ about my baby,
          F                   C F F F C F F F C
it donʼt matter if youʼre black or white.
                    G
I said, if youʼre thinkinʼ about my baby,
          F                    C F F F C F F  F C
it donʼt matter if youʼre black or white.
                    G
I said, if youʼre thinkinʼ of being my brother,
          F                   C F F F C F F F C
it donʼt matter if youʼre black or white.
