[Intro]

C#m7 F#m7 (x4)

[Verse 1]

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 segregatin'

F#m7
I'm talkin' 'bout brown and yellow too

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 color; same as me

C#m7 F#m7 C#m7 F#m7
Pardon me, brother, as you stand in your glory

C#m7 F#m7 C#m7 F#m7
I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story

[Instrumental]

C#m7 F#m7 G#m7
Learn to know your side
