Am           C            G                 F
Black Fella, White Fella, it doesn't matter what your colour.
Am             C             G              F
As long as you a true fella, as long as you a real fella.
Am             C                  G                    F
All the people of different races with different lives in different places.
Am                C                  G              F
It doesn't matter what your name is, we got to have lots of changes.
Am                    C
We need more brothers if we're to make it.
G                    F
We need more sisters if we're to save it.


Bb                           F               Eb
Are you the one that's gonna stand up and be counted?
Bb                          F                Eb
Are you the one who's gonna be there when we shout it?
Bb                            F                    Eb
Are you the one that's always ready with a helping hand?
Bb                       F                     Eb
Are you the one who understands these families plans?

[Verse]
Am           C            G             F
Black Fella, White Fella, Yellow Fella, any Fella.
Am                C                G              F

It doesn't matter which religion, it's all the same if the ship is sinking.
Am                    C
We need more brothers if we're to make it.
G                    F
We need more sisters if we're to save it.
