Intro
Am7 Dm7 (x4)
[Verse 1]
Am7 Dm7
We people who are darker than blue
Am7
Are we gonna stand around this town
Dm7
And let what others say come true?
Am7 Em7
We're just good for nothing they all figure
Dm7
F boyish, grown up, shiftless jigger
Am7 Em7
Now we can't hardly stand for that
Dm7
Or is that really where it's at?
Am7 Dm7
We people who are darker than blue
Am7
This ain't no time for segregatin'
Dm7
I'm talkin' 'bout brown and yellow too
Am7 Em7
High yellow girl, can't you tell
Dm7
You're just the surface of our dark deep well
Am7 Em7
If your mind could really see
Dm7
You'd know your color; same as me
Am7 Dm7 Am7 Dm7
Pardon me, brother, as you stand in your glory
Am7 Dm7 Am7 Dm7
I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story
[Instrumental]

Am7 Dm7 Em7 (x16)
Am7 Dm7 Em7
Get yourself together
Am7 Dm7 Em7
Learn to know your side
Am7 Dm7 Em7
Shall we commit our own genocide
Am7 Dm7 Em7
Before you check out your mind?
Am7 Dm7 Em7
I know we've all got problems
Am7 Dm7 Em7
That's why I'm here to say
Am7 Dm7 Em7
Keep peace with me and I with you
Am7 Dm7 Em7
Let me love in my own way
Am7 Dm7 Em7 (x10)

Am7 G Dm7
[Verse 2]
Am7 Dm7
Now I know we have great respect
Am7 Dm7
For the sister and mother, it's even better yet
Am7 Em7
But there's the joker in the street
Dm7
Loving one brother and killing the other
Am7 Em7
When the time comes and we are really free
Dm7
There'll be no brothers left, you see
Am7 Dm7
We people who are darker than blue
Am7
Don't let us hang around this town
Dm7
And let what others say come true
Am7 Em7
We're just good for nothing they all figure
Dm7
F boyish, grown up, shiftless jiggerr
Am7 Em7
Now we can't hardly stand for that
Dm7
Or is that really where it's at?
Am7 Dm7 Am7 Dm7
Pardon me, brother, while you stand in your glory
Am7 Dm7 Am7 Dm7
I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story
Am7 Dm7 Am7 Dm7
Pardon me, brother, I know we've come a long, long way
Am7 Dm7 Am7 Dm7
But let us not be so satisfied for tomorrow can be an even brighter day
