Bm7 Em7 (x4)
[Verse 1]
Bm7 Em7
We people who are darker than blue
Bm7
Are we gonna stand around this town
Em7
And let what others say come true?
Bm7 F#m7
We're just good for nothing they all figure
Em7
G boyish, grown up, shiftless jigger
Bm7 F#m7
Now we can't hardly stand for that
Em7
Or is that really where it's at?
Bm7 Em7
We people who are darker than blue
Bm7
This ain't no time for segregatin'
Em7
I'm talkin' 'bout brown and yellow too
Bm7 F#m7
High yellow girl, can't you tell
Em7
You're just the surface of our dark deep well
Bm7 F#m7
If your mind could really see
Em7
You'd know your color; same as me
Bm7 Em7 Bm7 Em7
Pardon me, brother, as you stand in your glory
Bm7 Em7 Bm7 Em7
I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story
[Instrumental]

Bm7 Em7 F#m7 (x16)
Bm7 Em7 F#m7
Get yourself together
Bm7 Em7 F#m7
Learn to know your side
Bm7 Em7 F#m7
Shall we commit our own genocide
Bm7 Em7 F#m7
Before you check out your mind?
Bm7 Em7 F#m7
I know we've all got problems
Bm7 Em7 F#m7
That's why I'm here to say
Bm7 Em7 F#m7
Keep peace with me and I with you
Bm7 Em7 F#m7
Let me love in my own way
Bm7 Em7 F#m7 (x10)

[Verse 2]
Bm7 Em7
Now I know we have great respect
Bm7 Em7
For the sister and mother, it's even better yet
Bm7 F#m7
But there's the joker in the street
Em7
Loving one brother and killing the other
Bm7 F#m7
When the time comes and we are really free
Em7
There'll be no brothers left, you see
Bm7 Em7
We people who are darker than blue
Bm7
Don't let us hang around this town
Em7
And let what others say come true
Bm7 F#m7
We're just good for nothing they all figure
Em7
G boyish, grown up, shiftless jiggerr
Bm7 F#m7
Now we can't hardly stand for that
Em7
Or is that really where it's at?
Bm7 Em7 Bm7 Em7
Pardon me, brother, while you stand in your glory
Bm7 Em7 Bm7 Em7
I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story
Bm7 Em7 Bm7 Em7
Pardon me, brother, I know we've come a long, long way
Bm7 Em7 Bm7 Em7
But let us not be so satisfied for tomorrow can be an even brighter day
