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