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

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

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