C#m7 F#m7 We people who are darker than blue, C#m7 Are we gonna stand around this town F#m7 And let what others say come true? C#m7 G#m7 We're just good for nothing they all figure, F#m7 A boyish, grown-up, shiftless jigger. C#m7 G#m7 Now we can't hardly stand for that, F#m7 Or is that really where it's at?
C#m7 F#m7 We people who are darker than blue, C#m7 This ain't no time for segregating F#m7 I'm talking 'bout brown and yellow two. C#m7 G#m7 High yellow girl, can't you tell F#m7 You're just the surface of our dark deep well? C#m7 G#m7 If your mind could really see F#m7 You'd know your colour the same as me.
C#m7 F#m7 C#m7 F#m9 Pardon me, brother, as you stand in your glory, C#m7 F#m7 C#m7 F#m9 I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story.
C#m7 F#m7 (x2)
n.c. (drums and bass)
C#m7 Get yourself together, learn to know your side.
Shall we commit our own genocide before you check out your mind?
I know we've all got problems, that's why I'm here to say,
Keep peace with me and I with you, let me love in my own way.

C#m7 Now I know we have great respect C#m7 F#m7 For the sister, and mother it's even better yet. C#m7 G#m7 But there's the joker in the street F#m7 Loving one brother and killing the other. C#m7 G#m7 When the time comes and we are really free F#m7 There'll be no brothers left you see.
C#m7 F#m7 We people who are darker than blue, ` C#m7 Don't let us hang around this town F#m7 And let what others say come true. C#m7 G#m7 We're just good for nothing they all figure, F#m7 A boyish, grown-up, shiftless jigger. C#m7 G#m7 Now we can't hardly stand for that, F#m7 Or is that really where it's at?
C#m7 F#m7 C#m7 F#m9 Pardon me, brother, while you stand in your glory, C#m7 F#m7 C#m7 F#m9 I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story.
C#m7 F#m7 C#m7 F#m9 Pardon me, brother, I know we've come a long, long way, C#m7 F#m7 C#m7 F#m9 But let us not be satisfied for tomorrow can be an, F#m7 An even brighter day.
