[Intro 1]
[G][Em][D][G][Em][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Our
forefather[D]s worked the fields
in [Cm]burni[C]ng s[Cm]un,
they sweat and [G]strain.
But we [Em]are sad to say,
[Am]we won't do it a[D]gain.
[G]Cause now that [D]we've realized,
that [C]oh so long we've [Cm]been hypnotized
[G]We suffer [Em]day and [D]night,
but still stand up [G]right
[C]Yes my skin is [D]black,
so when you [Bm]see me come
you can't [Em]turn your back
You [C]ain't gonna be,
no you'll [D]never be a man like [G]me
Oh yeah, [C]yes my skin is [D]black
So when you [Bm]see me come
you can't [Em]turn your back
You [C]ain't gonna be,
no you'll [D]never be a man like [G]me
If ever they [D]made a slip
[C]They'd be corrected [Cm]by the whip
[G]But we all [Em]can't decide
[Am]It won't happen ag[D]ain
[G]Cause now it is [D]our turn
to [C]take the lead,
cause [Cm]we have learned
[G]We suffer [Em]day and night,
[D]but still stand up rig[G]ht
[C]Yes my skin is [D]black,
so when you [Bm]see me come
you can [Em]turn your back
You [C]ain't gonna be,
no you'll [D]never be a man like [G]me
[C][D][Bm][Em][C][D]
[G]
[C]Yes, my skin is black[D],
so when you [Bm]see me come
you can [Em]turn your back,
you [C]ain't gonna be,
no you'll [D]never be a man like [G]me.
[C][D][Bm][Em]
Thank you.
