Black Or White

[Verse 1] CAPO 2

D

I took my baby on a Saturday bang,

Boy is that girl with you ? Yes, we're one and the same.

G

Now I believe in miracles,

D

and a miracle has happened tonight.

A

But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,

G D

it don't matter if you're black or white.

[Verse 2]

D

They print my message in the Saturday Sun,

I had to tell them, I ain't second to none.

G

And I told about equality,

D

and it's true, either you're wrong or you're right.

A

But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,

G D

it don't matter if you're black or white.

[Bridge]

D

I`m tired of this devil, I`m tired of this stuff,

G D

I`m tired of this business, so when the going gets rough.

D

I ain't scared of your brother, I ain't scared of no sheets,

G D

I ain't scared of nobody, girl when the goin' gets mean.

[Verse 3]

D

Protection for gangs, clubs, and nations,

D

causing grief in human relations.

D

It's a turf war on a global scale,

D

I'd rather hear both sides of the tale.

D

See, it's not about races, just places, faces.

D

Where your blood comes from is where your space is.

D

I've seen the bright get duller

D

I'm not going to spend my life being a color.

[Verse 4]

G

Don't tell me you agree with me,

D

when I saw you kicking dirt in my eye.

A

But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,

G D

it don't matter if you're black or white.

A

I said, if you're thinkin' about my baby,

G D

it don't matter if you're black or white.

A

I said, if you're thinkin' of being my brother,

G D

it don't matter if you're black or white.
