C#m7               F#m7   

 We people who are darker than blue,

       C#m7         

Are we gonna stand around this town

             F#m7

And let what others say come true?

           C#m7                  G#m7

We're just good for nothing they all figure,

F#m7 

 A boyish, grown-up, shiftless jigger.

C#m7                           G#m7

 Now we can't hardly stand for that,

F#m7      

 Or is that really where it's at?



C#m7               F#m7   

 We people who are darker than blue,

           C#m7

This ain't no time for segregating

            F#m7          

I'm talking 'bout brown and yellow two.

     C#m7                   G#m7

High yellow girl, can't you tell

       F#m7       

You're just the surface of our dark deep well?

C#m7                       G#m7

 If your mind could really see

F#m7                  

You'd know your colour the same as me.



C#m7    F#m7            C#m7               F#m9     

 Pardon me, brother, as you stand in your glory,

C#m7              F#m7      C#m7           F#m9

 I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story.





C#m7 F#m7 (x2)



n.c.

(drums and bass)



C#m7

Get yourself together, learn to know your side.



Shall we commit our own genocide before you check out your mind?



I know we've all got problems, that's why I'm here to say,



Keep peace with me and I with you, let me love in my own way.



C#m7

(instrumental)



C#m7 G#m7 F#m7

(harp)



C#m7

 Now I know we have great respect 

        C#m7                         F#m7

For the sister, and mother it's even better yet.

            C#m7                    G#m7

But there's the joker in the street

           F#m7

Loving one brother and killing the other.

C#m7                            G#m7   

 When the time comes and we are really free

F#m7      

There'll be no brothers left you see.



C#m7               F#m7   

 We people who are darker than blue,

`     C#m7           

Don't let us hang around this town

             F#m7

And let what others say come true.

We're just good for nothing they all figure,

F#m7        

 A boyish, grown-up, shiftless jigger.

 Now we can't hardly stand for that,

F#m7

 Or is that really where it's at?



C#m7        F#m7           C#m7              F#m9

 Pardon me, brother, while you stand in your glory,

C#m7              F#m7    C#m7             F#m9

 I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story.



C#m7    F#m7        C#m7          F#m9    

 Pardon me, brother, I know we've come a long, long way,

C#m7        F#m7            C#m7      F#m9          

 But let us not be satisfied for tomorrow can be an,

F#m7

 An even brighter day.
