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