Black Or White

Verse 1: 
 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, 
                              E   
and a miracle has happened tonight. 
                 B  
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,

it don't matter if you're black or white.

 E  
They print my message in the Saturday Sun, 
 
I had to tell them, I ain't second to none.

And I told about equality, 
                                              E   
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. 
 
Bridge: 
 E                         
I`m tired of this devil, I`m tired of this stuff, 
                                         A          E  
I`m tired of this business, so when the going gets rough. 
 E                                 
I ain't scared of your brother, I ain't scared of no sheets, 
                                         A          E  
I ain't scared of nobody, girl when the goin' gets mean. 
 
Verse 3: 
 E  
Protection for gangs, clubs, and nations, 
 E  
causing grief in human relations. 
 E  
It's a turf war on a global scale, 
 E  
I'd rather hear both sides of the tale. 
 E  
See, it's not about races, just places, faces. 
 E  
Where your blood comes from is where your space is. 
 E  
I've seen the bright get duller 
 E  
I'm not going to spend my life being a color.

       A  
Don't tell me you agree with me,

when I saw you kicking dirt in my eye. 
                 B  
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby, 
          A                          E  
it don't matter if you're black or white. 
                    B  
I said, if you're thinkin' about my baby, 
          A                          E   
it don't matter if you're black or white. 
                    B

          A                          E   
it don't matter if you're black or white.
