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