If you see Stevie Wonder tell him I 
hear
A                                 
If you hear Stevie Wonder tell him
   E
 I see
        G#m               F#m     
I don't want no songs for plants, 
  G#m            E
I want songs for me
        G#m               F#m     
I don't want no songs for plants, 
  G#m       E
I want liberty, I'm living in the 
city

If you see the doctor tell him he's 
king, Dr. Martin Luther
A                                 
If you see the doctor tell him 
        E
he's still king, you too Muhammed 
Ali
         G#m         F#m         
But this bad black boy, won't be 
G#m           E
blown away by anything
         G#m         F#m         
Yes this bad black boy, won't be 
G#m           E
blown away by anything


[Chorus]
          G#m                      
There are people in this town that 
       C#m
try to put me down
     F#m                    A
They say I don't give a damn, damn

Don't take it no more
