(intro - riff 8x)

E
I took my baby on a Saturday bang
Boy is that girl with you? Yes, we're one and the same
     A
Now I believe in miracles
                                   (riff)
and a miracle has happened tonight
B
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby
          A                            E
it don't matter if you're black or white

(riff 4x)

E
They print my message in the Saturday Sun
I had to tell them, I ain't second to none
    A
And I told about equality
                                                   (riff)
and it's true, either you're wrong or you're right
B
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby
          A                            E
it don't matter if you're black or white

(riff 8x)

E                                               G A
I`m tired of this devil, I`m tired of this stuff
                                                        G A
I`m tired of this business, so when the going gets rough
                                                           G A
I ain't scared of your brother, I ain't scared of no sheets
                                                       G A
I ain't scared of nobody, girl when the goin' gets mean

                      Em          A
Protection for gangs, clubs, and nations
         Em               A
causing grief in human relations
Em                         A
It's a turf war on a global scale
Em                                A
I'd rather hear both sides of the tale
          Em                    A       Em
See, it's not about races, just places, faces
                 A                        Em
Where your blood comes from is where your space is
                         A
I've seen the bright get duller
A
I'm not going to spend my life being a color

       A
Don't tell me you agree with me,
                                    E  (riff)
when I saw you kicking dirt in my eye
B
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby
         A                               E (riff)
it don't matter if you're black or white
  B
I said, if you're thinkin' about my baby
             A                               E (riff)
it don't matter if you're black or white
  B
I said, if you're thinkin' of being my brother
         A                               E (riff)
it don't matter if you're black or white
