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