Am7 Dm7 Am7 Dm9 (x2)
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 segregating
Dm7
I'm talking 'bout brown and yellow two.
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 colour the same as me.
Am7 Dm7 Am7 Dm9
Pardon me, brother, as you stand in your glory,
Am7 Dm7 Am7 Dm9
I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story.
Am7 Dm7 (x2)
n.C.
(drums and bass)
Am7
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.

(harp)
Am7
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 jigger.
Am7 Em7
Now we can't hardly stand for that,
Dm7
Or is that really where it's at?
Am7 Dm7 Am7 Dm9
Pardon me, brother, while you stand in your glory,
Am7 Dm7 Am7 Dm9
I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story.
Am7 Dm7 Am7 Dm9
Pardon me, brother, I know we've come a long, long way,
Am7 Dm7 Am7 Dm9
But let us not be satisfied for tomorrow can be an,
Dm7
An even brighter day.
