We Have A Law Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Eve[C]n i[G]n this country,
there [D]may sometimes be a
law that we don't [G]like.
As good Americans,
we obey [D]it as [G]long as [A]it's [C#dim]the law.
[A]But we [G]can do something
about a law we [D]don't [G]like.
We can tell our objections
to the people [D]who make and [G]change laws.
This song gives [D]us good advice.
[G]If you don't like a [D]law
and you can think of one that's [G]better,
the thing for [Abdim]you to do
[D]is to sit down and write a let[G]ter.
A letter to [D]your congressman
or senator
[G]because your congress
[Abdim]man and senat[D]or
sit down and write our [G]law.
We [C]have a law that [G]makes us proud
and [D]no law could be bet[G]ter.
It [C]gives us all the [G]right to speak
and [Am]right [D]to write a [G]letter.
You [C]may be white, you [G]may be [Abdim]dark,
you [D]may be brown or [G]pink.
Your [C]skin will [C#dim]never matter[G]
if your [A]brain knows [D]how to [G]think.[A][D][G]
[D]A m[G]ayor and a g[D]overnor,
the people have elec[G]ted,
Are glad to [Abdim]have you writ[D]e to them,
your letters are respec[G]ted.
And you may write the [D]President in Washington,
D [G].C. Yes, you may [Abdim]write to any[D]one,
for we are really [G]free.
We [C]have a law that [G]makes us proud,
and [D]no law could be better[G].
It [C]gives us all the [G]right to speak,
and [Am]right to [D]write a letter.
[G]You [Am]may [G]be w[C]hite,
you [G]may be [Abdim]dark,
you [D]may be brown or [G]pink.
Your [C]skin [C#dim]will never matter[G]
if your [A]brain knows [D]how to [G]think.[A][D][G]
Now if it has been rain[D]ing
and the streets could not be wet[G]ter,
there's nothing can be [D]done about it,
so don't write that let[G]ter.
But if you know a [D]busy street
where there's no traffic [G]light,
ah,
then at [Abdim]once a lett[D]er to the mayor
you should [G]write.
We [C]have a law that [G]makes us proud,
and [D]no law could be bet[G]ter.
It [C]gives us all the [G]right to speak
and [Am]right to [D]write a letter[G].
You [C]may be white, you [G]may be [Abdim]dark,
you [D]may be brown or [G]pink.
Your [C]skin will [C#dim]never matter[G],
if your [A]brain knows [D]how to [G]think.
