Rainbow Man

      C                      G
I was born in Alabama, but I never 
knew my Momma.
Bb                               
She gave me away at three months 
F
old.
     C                    G
Some folks in Mississippi took me in
 an' kept me,
    Bb                             
An' treated me just like I was 
  F
their own.
  Am       G              F
A Holiness preacher man's daughter,
      Dm           F          
And a hard-working sharecropper 
  G
father.


            C                   
An' my real Momma was Apache, my 
      G
real Daddy? Hell, don't ask me.
Bb                            F
Momma says she don't remember him.
             C              
An' I'm sure somewhere in my 
               G
history, I've got some slave blood 
in me.
    Bb                          F
An' some folks think I look Mexican.
  Am           G          F
I never really fit in any place,

               Dm       F         
'Cause there's always a part of me
    G
 to hate.


        F
I'm the rainbow man.
       C
That's who I am.
             G                     
I'm a little white an' black an' 
      C
red and tanned.
         F                   C/E  
I've got all these different 
        Dm   Gsus
colors in my skin.
        C
I'm the rainbow man.


      C                            
Well, I know you may doubt it, but 
       G
if you stop an' think about it,
Bb                                
There's one common thing that 
      F
we've all got.
C                              G
People from all countries come here 
because they're hungry,
           Bb                  
For what's cookin' in America's 
         F
meltin' pot.
Am        G                 F
We're all different but the same.
Dm                          G
Red's the only color in our veins.


            F
And I'm the rainbow man.
            C
Livin' in a rainbow land.
    G                              
I'm white an' black an' yellow an' 
           C
brown  an' red and tanned.
           F                C/E   
And I'm so proud of all the colors
        Dm  Gsus
 that I am:
        C
I'm the rainbow man.
          F           C/E     Dm  
All these colors make me American,
Gsus

        C            Bb  C
I'm the rainbow man.
