Black Or White

I took my (E)baby on a (A6)Saturday (E)bang.

Boy is (A)that girl with (E)you?

Yes, we're one and the same.

Now I (A)I believe in miracles and a miracle has happened (E)tonight.

(E)But, if you're (B)thinkin' about my baby,

it don't (A)matter if you're black or white.

(A)They print my (E)message in the (A6)Saturday (E)Sun.

I is (A)had to tell (E)them I ain't second to none.

Now I (A)told about equality and it's true either you're wrong or you're (E)right.

(E)But, if you're (B)thinkin' about my baby,

it don't (A)matter if you're black or white.

(E)But, if you're (B)thinkin' 'bout my baby it don't (A)matter if you're black or white.

(Em)I am tired of this devil,

I am tired of this stuff.

I am tired of this business,

so when the going gets rough I ain't scared of your brother I ain't scared of no sheets.

I ain't scared of nobody, girl when the goin' gets mean.

(Em6)Protection for gangs, clubs and nations causing grief in human relations,

it's a turf war on a global scale I'd rather hear both sides of the tale.

See, it's not about races just places,

faces, where your blood comes from is where your space is.

I've seen the bright get duller,

I'm not gonna spend my life being a colour.

Don't (A)tell me you agree with me when I saw you kicking dirt in my (E)eye.

(E)But if you're (B)thinkin' about my baby it don't (A)matter if you're black or (E)white.

(E)I said, if you're (B)thinkin' about bein' my baby it don't (A)matter if you're black or (E)white.

(E)I said, if you're (B)thinkin' of bein' my brother it don't (A)matter if you're black or (E)white.

(E)Alright, (A)alright.

(A)Ooh, (E)ooh.

(E)(A6)Alright. (E)(Yeah, yeah, yeah.)

Now (A)alright, (E)(A6)alright.

(E)Ooh, ooh.

(E)(A6)Alright. (E)(Yeah, yeah, yeah.)

Now (A)alright, (E)(A6)alright.

(E)Ooh, ooh.

(A6)right. (E)It's black,

(A)it's white, (E)it's tough for you to get by.

yeah, It's black,

it's white, woo!

(E)It's black, (A)it's white,
