C#m7 F#m7 We people who are darker than blue C#m7 Are we gonna stand around this town F#m7 And let what others say come true? C#m7 G#m7 We're just good for nothing they all figure F#m7 A boyish, grown up, shiftless jigger C#m7 G#m7 Now we can't hardly stand for that F#m7 Or is that really where it's at? C#m7 F#m7 We people who are darker than blue C#m7 This ain't no time for segregatin' F#m7 I'm talkin' 'bout brown and yellow too C#m7 G#m7 High yellow girl, can't you tell F#m7 You're just the surface of our dark deep well C#m7 G#m7 If your mind could really see F#m7 You'd know your color; same as me C#m7 F#m7 C#m7 F#m7 Pardon me, brother, as you stand in your glory C#m7 F#m7 C#m7 F#m7 I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story

Verse 2
C#m7 F#m7 Now I know we have great respect C#m7 F#m7 For the sister and mother, it's even better yet C#m7 G#m7 But there's the joker in the street F#m7 Loving one brother and killing the other C#m7 G#m7 When the time comes and we are really free F#m7 There'll be no brothers left, you see C#m7 F#m7 We people who are darker than blue C#m7 Don't let us hang around this town F#m7 And let what others say come true C#m7 G#m7 We're just good for nothing they all figure F#m7 A boyish, grown up, shiftless jiggerr C#m7 G#m7 Now we can't hardly stand for that F#m7 Or is that really where it's at?
