Verse
Em D A
There was a massacre in church that got certain forces moving
Em D A
Many towns are now at least superficially improving
Em D
Such as in Virginia, where a statue of General Lee
Em A
Stands as a reminder of the days of slavery
Em D
In the city center, an indelible mark
Em A
In the spot that's been renamed Emancipation Park
Em D A
Slated for removal, when a judge intervened
Em D A
Which might be the moment that most fully set the scene
[Chorus]
Em D
(For) 19 injured, one killed
A
today in Charlottesville
Em D Em A
Em D Em A
[Verse 2]
Em D A
With their man in the White House, members of the Right
Em D A
Marched through the university, torches alight
Em D
Chanting against immigrants, Africans and Jews
Em A
But it's not the flying bottles that put them in the news
Em D
So much as the bigot in the car, revving his engine loud
Em A
Speeding forward and then back, running down the crowd
Em D A
Using the same tactic promoted by Islamic State
Em D A
Maybe he was even shouting “God is great”
[Chorus]
Em D
(For) 19 injured, one killed
A
today in Charlottesville
Em D Em A
Em D Em A
[Verse 3]
Em D A
More than half the city used to be in chains
Em D A
Now their descendants who still remain
Em D
Are being forced to leave by gentrification
Em A
Just like poor white folks all across the nation
Em D
And with the presidential tweets and xenophobic rants
Em A
It's just a matter of time before some pawn takes the chance
Em D A
To plow into a march with half a ton of steel
Em A
This is not fake news -- it's real
[Chorus]
Em D
(For) 19 injured, one killed
A
today in Charlottesville
Em D Em A
Em D Em G
