Intro: E A A A E A A A E x4

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

E A A A E A A A E x2

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

E A A A E A A A E x4

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

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

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