D
  I took my baby on a Saturday bang,
Boy, is that girl with you? Yes, we're one and the same.
    G
Now I believe in miracles,

                              D*
and a miracle has happened tonight.

                 A
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,

          G                          D*
it don't matter if you're black or white.
[Verse 2]
D
 They print my message in the Saturday Sun,
I had to tell them, I ain't second to none.
       G
And I told about equality,

                                              D*
and it's true, either you're wrong or you're right.

                 A
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,

          G                          D*
it don't matter if you're black or white.
[Bridge]
 D
I'm tired of this devil, I'm tired of this stuff,

                                         G          D
I'm tired of this business, so when the going gets rough.

D
I ain't scared of your brother, I ain't scared of no sheets,

                                         G          D
I ain't scared of nobody, girl when the goin' gets mean.
[Verse 3]
D
Protection for gangs, clubs, and nations,

D
causing grief in human relations.

D
It's a turf war on a global scale,

D
I'd rather hear both sides of the tale.

D
See, it's not about races, just places, faces.

D
Where your blood comes from is where your space is.

D
I've seen the bright get duller

D
I'm not going to spend my life being a color.
[Verse 4]
       G
Don't tell me you agree with me,

                                   D*
when I saw you kicking dirt in my eye.

                 A
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,

          G                          D*
it don't matter if you're black or white.

                    A
I said, if you're thinkin' about my baby,

          G                          D*
it don't matter if you're black or white.

                    A
I said, if you're thinkin' of being my brother,

          G                          D*
it don't matter if you're black or white.
