[G][C]
[G]Danger from East Oakland,

[Verse 1]
[G]
black sheep, like me,
She kept her front [C]door open,
They call her Miss Rachel,
When she'd open her heart
to where neigh[G]bors in the O,
Lived there too, and when I did,
She drove [C]that bus through the cuts where most
white folks could never live,
[G]And I... had a woman in my family,
Who I [C]could identify with a certain way, yes,
I could play my music under
[G]stood by my aunt.
One of the first songs ever
made with the Grouch,
[C]Sat with her in the pickup truck
and played that shit real loud,
I had my [G]proud face on when
she came to see me rap,
Her claps were [C]heard from the back,
No [?] and things, we never trace,
[G]In fact, she liked the Simple Man song,
This woman ran [C]strong, her energy is long,
for decades and [G]beyond.[C]
[G]Miss Busdriver, can't find my way home,
Can [C]you pick my spirit up and take
me to a safe zone,
[G]Angel of the O,
can you play music for your folks,
I'm kinda [C]down I need to hear the notes
So [G]Miss Busdriver, can't
find my way home,
Can you [C]pick my spirit up and take
me to a safe zone,
Arch- [G]angel of the O,
can you play music for your folks,
I'm kinda [C]down I need
to hear the note
You're not around but I [G]can feel

[Interlude 1]
the hope.
[G][C][G]
[C][G]
[C]
Gen[G]erosity, characteristic

[Verse 2]
[G]not
found these days,
[C]A willingness to expose your soul,
Give it all in a gaze, [G]of love,
Compassion for your fellow
men so rare,
[C]So there, I guess he needed
a bus driver with flare,
Who [G]would never charge an angel a fare,
Just get them all to care for
[C]the human beings,
So need to guard,
and whisper in the ear to kill [G]the fear,
Her mother Helen taught them
empower women,
[C]Some men would take it like a sour lemon,
And scrounge [G]their face up,
wait up,
Don't raise your hands up,
She'd make [C]you sit down,
now take a seat now,
She'd get the band up [G]in Ellis Street,
Make a fellow tap his feet,
Now a part [C]of the universal tapestry,
Looking out for Margret
on [G]the back- beat,
Mom and Dad and Rachel on the tag team,
[C]And man, if you ask me, it's not sad,
It's actually [G]an angel that we needed in the brinks
to harmonize plan[C]etary harmony and [?]
[G]Miss Busdriver, can't
find my way home,
Can [C]you pick my spirit up and take
me to a safe zone,
[G]Angel of the O,
can you play music for your folks,
I'm kinda [C]down I need to hear the notes
So [G]Miss Busdriver, can't
find my way home,
Can [C]you pick my spirit up and take
me to a safe zone,
Arch- [G]angel of the O,
can you play music for your folks,
I'm kinda [C]down I need
to hear the note
You're not around but I [G]can feel

[Interlude 2]
the hope.
[G][C][Em]
[G][C][G]
[C]
[G]Miss Busdriver, can't

[Verse 3]
[G]find
my way [Em]home,
[G]Angel of the O, can you play
music for your folks,

[Outro 1]
I'm kinda down I need to hear the [Em]note.
