Dm7 Gm7 Dm7 Gm9 (x2)
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 segregating
Gm7
I'm talking 'bout brown and yellow two.
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 colour the same as me.
Dm7 Gm7 Dm7 Gm9
Pardon me, brother, as you stand in your glory,
Dm7 Gm7 Dm7 Gm9
I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story.
Dm7 Gm7 (x2)
n.C.
(drums and bass)
Dm7
Get yourself together, learn to know your side.
Shall we commit our own genocide before you check out your mind?
I know we've all got problems, that's why I'm here to say,
Keep peace with me and I with you, let me love in my own way.
Dm7

Dm7 Am7 Gm7
(harp)
Dm7
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 jigger.
Dm7 Am7
Now we can't hardly stand for that,
Gm7
Or is that really where it's at?
Dm7 Gm7 Dm7 Gm9
Pardon me, brother, while you stand in your glory,
Dm7 Gm7 Dm7 Gm9
I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story.
Dm7 Gm7 Dm7 Gm9
Pardon me, brother, I know we've come a long, long way,
Dm7 Gm7 Dm7 Gm9
But let us not be satisfied for tomorrow can be an,
Gm7
An even brighter day.
