[Intro]

D* D*


[Verse 1]

D
  I took my baby on a Saturday bang,

Boy, is that girl with you? Yes, we're one and the same.
    G
Now I believe in miracles,
                              D*
and a miracle has happened tonight.
                 A
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,
          G                          D*
it don't matter if you're black or white.


[Verse 2]

D
 They print my message in the Saturday Sun,

I had to tell them, I ain't second to none.
       G
And I told about equality,
                                              D*
and it's true, either you're wrong or you're right.
                 A
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,
          G                          D*
it don't matter if you're black or white.


[Bridge]

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


[Verse 3]

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


[Verse 4]

       G
Don't tell me you agree with me,
                                   D*
when I saw you kicking dirt in my eye.
                 A
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,
          G                          D*
it don't matter if you're black or white.
                    A
I said, if you're thinkin' about my baby,
          G                          D*
it don't matter if you're black or white.
                    A
I said, if you're thinkin' of being my brother,
          G                          D*
it don't matter if you're black or white.
