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)
