[Verse 1]
[G]I t[D]ook[G][D][G][D]
[G]the[D] bu[G]s,[D]
[G]just north of [D]Oakland
And [C]listened to some [D]music
on the [G]way[D][G][D]
[G]There sat a [D]man, [G]he looked so [D]angry
He [C]started to yell [D]openly and [G]say
[D]The [C]blacks would fall if [D]he
had his own [G]way[D][G]
[D]An d he [G]said, I'm not ra[Am]cist,
[C]I couldn't b[D]e
[G]My lover's [Am]from Japan [C]now,
don't you [D]see?
[G]I'm not ra[Am]cist, [C]I couldn't b[D]e
[G]My lover's [Am]from Japan now,
[C]don't you see[D]?
But I [C]guess things must be [D]okay here
for [G]me[D][G][D][G][Em][D][G][D]
[G]I feel his c[D]old s[G]tare,
he asks me [D]questions,
he [C]mentions that he's
[D]working on a [G]play[D]
[G]My lips are [D]shaking, [G]I flash a smi[D]le,
he [C]asks me if I'm [D]straight
or am I [G]gay[D][G]
[D]And he [G]yells, you'll burn [Am]forever,
[C]quite angri[D]ly
[G]I ask him p[Am]lease,
could you [C]stay away from [D]me?
[G]You'll burn [Am]forever, [C]quite angri[D]ly
[G]I asked h[Am]im,
could you [C]stay away from [D]me?
He [C]told me, in this [D]country,
it's [G]free[D][G]
[D]Then he could [C]do whatever [D]he damn well [G]pleased[D][G][D][G][D][G]
