Societys Child

 Cm         F
Come to my door, baby
 Cm                         F
Face is clean and shining black as 
night
Cm                  F
My mother went to answer you know
           Eb            F
That you looked so fine
    Bb
Now I could understand your tears 
and your shame
D
She called you "boy" instead of your
 name
Gm
When she wouldn't let you inside
Eb
When she turned and said
                 F    Eb    F
"But honey, he's not our kind."


[Chorus 1]
 Am                       D7
She says I can't see you any more, 
baby
 Am                D7
Can't see you anymore

[Verse 2]
 Cm               F
Walk me down to school, baby
   Cm               F
Everybody's acting deaf and blind
 Cm                             F
Until they turn and say, "Why don't 
you stick to
  Eb      F
your own kind."
 Bb
My teachers all laugh, their 
smirking stares
 D
Cutting deep down in our affairs
 Gm
Preachers of equality
 Eb                            
Think they believe it, then why 
                  F   Eb   F
won't they just let us be?


[Chorus 2]
  Am                       D7
They say I can't see you anymore 
baby
 Am             D7
Can't see you anymore


[Verse 3]
 Cm                          F
One of these days I'm gonna stop my 
listening
 Cm                     F
Gonna raise my head up high
 Cm                           F   
One of these days I'm gonna raise 
               Eb         F
my glistening wings and fly
 Bb
But that day will have to wait for a
 while
 D
Baby I'm only society's child
 Gm
When we're older things may change
 Eb                               
But for now this is the way, they 
F     Eb
must remain


[Chorus 3]
 Am                     D7
I say I can't see you anymore baby
 Am             D7
Can't see you anymore
 Bb                 C
No, I won't see you anymore, baby
