Letter To Lady J

C                      F      C
My dear old friend its you we need
C                               F
There’s blood in the gutter and 
            C
fear in the streets
F                                 
How long do we have to fight for a
                   G
 change that never comes?
      Am                 C        
oh in some ways it’s the same, but
                        Am
 tonight the crowd they came
G
Fists in the air, candles and 
vigils,

G
Cracked dreams held together with 
curses and wishes, but
C                              F 
How longs it been since you’ve 
    C
been outside
C                            
How longs it been since you’ve 
  Am          G
opened your eyes
G                              C 
I’ve been to the line and it’s 
        F
all right there,
F                        G       
and I cannot wait to get on from 
C
here.
C                  F         C
Arms bend back and blacked and welt
     C                        F   
The involuntary tears and the 
     C
tears we felt

Does it always have to get worse 
                 G
before it gets better
      Am                 C        
oh in some ways it’s the same, but
                        Am
 tonight the crowd they came
G
Fists in the air, candles and 
vigils,
G
Cracked dreams held together with 
curses and wishes, but

C                              F 
How longs it been since you’ve 
    C
been outside
C                            
How longs it been since you’ve 
  Am          G
opened your eyes
G                              C 
I’ve been to the line and it’s 
        F
all right there,
F                        G

C                 F       C
Virgil Kane where are you now
C                                
Did they bury the hate when they 
F          C
buried the south?
F                                 
We’ve got to tell the spirit

mystics of tomorrow that
   Am                 C
