Brad Paisley, "Accidental Racist" (ft. Ll Cool J)
(intro)
2x
G D C G D
(verse)
G D C
To the man that waited on me at the Starbucks down on Main, I hope you
G D
understand
G D C
When I put on that t-shirt, the only thing I meant to say is I’m a Skynyrd
G
fan
C Em D
The red flag on my chest somehow is like the elephant in the corner of the
south
G D C
And I just walked him right in the room
C Em
Just a proud rebel son with an ‘ol can of worms
D G C
Lookin’ like I got a lot to learn, but from my point of view
(chorus)
G D
I’m just a white man comin’ to you from the southland
C G D
Tryin’ to understand what it’s like not to be
G Bm
I’m proud of where I’m from but not everything we’ve done
C G D
And it ain’t like you and me can re-write history
Em D
Our generation didn’t start this nation
G C
We’re still pickin’ up the pieces, walkin’ on eggshells, fightin’ over
yesterday
G C D G
And caught between southern pride and the southern blame
(verse)
G D
They called it Reconstruction, fixed the buildings, dried some tears
C G D
We’re still siftin’ through the rubble after a hundred-fifty years
G D
I try to put myself in your shoes and that’s a good place to begin
C G D
But it ain’t like I can walk a mile in someone else’s skin
(chorus)
G D
‘Cause I’m a white man livin’ in the southland
