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