[Verse 1]
A#m7 D#m7
We people who are darker than blue
A#m7
Are we gonna stand around this town
D#m7
And let what others say come true?
A#m7 Fm7
We're just good for nothing they all figure
D#m7
F# boyish, grown up, shiftless jigger
A#m7 Fm7
Now we can't hardly stand for that
D#m7
Or is that really where it's at?
A#m7 D#m7
We people who are darker than blue
A#m7
This ain't no time for segregatin'
D#m7
I'm talkin' 'bout brown and yellow too
A#m7 Fm7
High yellow girl, can't you tell
D#m7
You're just the surface of our dark deep well
A#m7 Fm7
If your mind could really see
D#m7
You'd know your color; same as me
A#m7 D#m7 A#m7 D#m7
Pardon me, brother, as you stand in your glory
A#m7 D#m7 A#m7 D#m7
I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story
[Instrumental]

A#m7 D#m7 Fm7 (x16)
A#m7 D#m7 Fm7
Get yourself together
A#m7 D#m7 Fm7
Learn to know your side
A#m7 D#m7 Fm7
Shall we commit our own genocide
A#m7 D#m7 Fm7
Before you check out your mind?
A#m7 D#m7 Fm7
I know we've all got problems
A#m7 D#m7 Fm7
That's why I'm here to say
A#m7 D#m7 Fm7
Keep peace with me and I with you
A#m7 D#m7 Fm7
Let me love in my own way
A#m7 D#m7 Fm7 (x10)

[Verse 2]
A#m7 D#m7
Now I know we have great respect
A#m7 D#m7
For the sister and mother, it's even better yet
A#m7 Fm7
But there's the joker in the street
D#m7
Loving one brother and killing the other
A#m7 Fm7
When the time comes and we are really free
D#m7
There'll be no brothers left, you see
A#m7 D#m7
We people who are darker than blue
A#m7
Don't let us hang around this town
D#m7
And let what others say come true
A#m7 Fm7
We're just good for nothing they all figure
D#m7
F# boyish, grown up, shiftless jiggerr
A#m7 Fm7
Now we can't hardly stand for that
D#m7
Or is that really where it's at?
A#m7 D#m7 A#m7 D#m7
Pardon me, brother, while you stand in your glory
A#m7 D#m7 A#m7 D#m7
I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story
A#m7 D#m7 A#m7 D#m7
Pardon me, brother, I know we've come a long, long way
A#m7 D#m7 A#m7 D#m7
But let us not be so satisfied for tomorrow can be an even brighter day
