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 segregating
Em7
I'm talking 'bout brown and yellow two.
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 colour the same as me.
Bm7 Em7 Bm7 Em9
Pardon me, brother, as you stand in your glory,
Bm7 Em7 Bm7 Em9
I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story.

(drums and bass)
Bm7
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.

Now I know we have great respect

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.

I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story.

An even brighter day.
