Chords

[Intro] G G C G G D G [Verse 1]
     G                                   C                G
I suppose that Old Man Trump knows just how much racial hate

      G                  A7                D
He stirred up in that bloodpot of human hearts

          G
When he drew that color line

              C                   G
Here at his Beach Haven family project

     G                   D                   G
I suppose that Old Man Trump knew just how much...
[Chorus]
G
Beach Haven ain't my home!

       C                   G
No, I just can't pay this rent!

G
My money's down the drain,

                A7     D
And my soul is badly bent!

G
Beach Haven is Trump's Tower

           C                   G
Where no black folks come to roam,

         G
No, no, no,  Old Man Trump!

            D              G
Old Beach Haven ain't my home!
[Verse 2]
       G                       C                G
I'm calling out my welcome to you and your man both

                        A7    D
Welcoming you here to Beach Haven

     G                                C                           G
To love in any way you please and to have some kind of a decent place

              D            G
To have your kids raised up in.
[Chorus]
G
Beach Haven ain't my home!

       C                   G
No, I just can't pay this rent!

G
My money's down the drain,

                A7     D
And my soul is badly bent!

G
Beach Haven is Trump's Tower

           C                   G
Where no black folks come to roam,

         G
No, no, no,  Old Man Trump!

            D              G
Old Beach Haven ain't my home!
