Colored People

Intro: D, A, G (repeat during 
1.2.3.4)

Bm                      A 
Pardon me, your epidermis is 
                   G
showing, sir
Bm                      A        
I couldnt help but note your 
            G
shade of melanin
Bm                      A 
I tip my hat to the colorful 
                   G
arrangement
Bm                      A        
Cause I see the beauty in the 
            G
tones of our skin
Em
Weve gotta come together
                  A             D
And thank the maker of us all

(chorus)
D                               A
Were colored people, and we live 
               G
in a tainted place
D                               A
Were colored people, and they 
               G
call us the human race
D                       A  
Weve got a history so full of 
             G
mistakes

D                               A
And we are colored people who 
               G
depend on a holy grace

Bm                      A  
A piece of canvas is only the 
                  G
beginning for
Bm                      A        
It takes on character with every 
            G
loving stroke
Bm                      A        
This thing of beauty is the 
            G
passion of an artists heart
Bm                      A  
By gods design, we are a skin 
                  G
kaleidoscope
Em
Weve gotta come together,
                        A       D
Arent we all human after all?

(repeat chorus)
Bm
Ignorance has wronged some races
Bm
And vengeance is the Lords

Bm
If we aspire to share this space
G
Repentance is, Repentance is the 
cure
(Intro 2x)

Well, just a day in the shoes of a 
color blind man
Should make it easy for you to see
That these diverse tones do more 
than cover our bones
As a part of our anatomy

(repeat chorus)

D                               A
Were colored people, and they 
               G                D, 
call us the human race
A, G

D                             
Were colored people, and we all 
  A               G               
gotta share this space
D, A, G

D                               A
Were colored people, and we live 
               G               D, 
in a tainted world
A, G

D                             
Were colored people, every man, 
  A               G               
woman, boy, and girl
D, A, G
