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