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#
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#
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.
