Intro
Dm7 Gm7 (x4)
[Verse 1]
Dm7 Gm7
We people who are darker than blue
Dm7
Are we gonna stand around this town
Gm7
And let what others say come true?
Dm7 Am7
We're just good for nothing they all figure
Gm7
A# boyish, grown up, shiftless jigger
Dm7 Am7
Now we can't hardly stand for that
Gm7
Or is that really where it's at?
Dm7 Gm7
We people who are darker than blue
Dm7
This ain't no time for segregatin'
Gm7
I'm talkin' 'bout brown and yellow too
Dm7 Am7
High yellow girl, can't you tell
Gm7
You're just the surface of our dark deep well
Dm7 Am7
If your mind could really see
Gm7
You'd know your color; same as me
Dm7 Gm7 Dm7 Gm7
Pardon me, brother, as you stand in your glory
Dm7 Gm7 Dm7 Gm7
I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story
[Instrumental]

Dm7 Gm7 Am7 (x16)
Dm7 Gm7 Am7
Get yourself together
Dm7 Gm7 Am7
Learn to know your side
Dm7 Gm7 Am7
Shall we commit our own genocide
Dm7 Gm7 Am7
Before you check out your mind?
Dm7 Gm7 Am7
I know we've all got problems
Dm7 Gm7 Am7
That's why I'm here to say
Dm7 Gm7 Am7
Keep peace with me and I with you
Dm7 Gm7 Am7
Let me love in my own way
Dm7 Gm7 Am7 (x10)

[Instrumental]
Dm7 C Gm7
[Verse 2]
Dm7 Gm7
Now I know we have great respect
Dm7 Gm7
For the sister and mother, it's even better yet
Dm7 Am7
But there's the joker in the street
Gm7
Loving one brother and killing the other
Dm7 Am7
When the time comes and we are really free
Gm7
There'll be no brothers left, you see
Dm7 Gm7
We people who are darker than blue
Dm7
Don't let us hang around this town
Gm7
And let what others say come true
Dm7 Am7
We're just good for nothing they all figure
Gm7
A# boyish, grown up, shiftless jiggerr
Dm7 Am7
Now we can't hardly stand for that
Gm7
Or is that really where it's at?
Dm7 Gm7 Dm7 Gm7
Pardon me, brother, while you stand in your glory
Dm7 Gm7 Dm7 Gm7
I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story
Dm7 Gm7 Dm7 Gm7
Pardon me, brother, I know we've come a long, long way
Dm7 Gm7 Dm7 Gm7
But let us not be so satisfied for tomorrow can be an even brighter day
