[INTRO]
Em D Am C (2x)
[CHORUS]
Em D Am C Across the lines, who would dare to go Em D Am Under the bridge, over the tracks C That separates whites from blacks Em D G Choose sides, or run for your life Am C D Tonight the riots began Em D On back streets of America, Am C G They killed the dream of America Em D Little black girl gets assaulted, ain't no reason why Am C Newspaper prints the story and racist tempers fly Em D Next day it starts the riot, knives and guns are drawn Am C Two black boys get killed, one white boy goes blind
[CHORUS]
