Back before you [C]went away

Walking [F]the block
I loved it when [D]you held me high

Take me to [D]a place inside

Doing all that [F]I could
Wasn't easy for me to
be a [D]scared white boy
In a black neighbor[C]hood

With a [F]five dollar bill
Yeah, I never un[E]derstood
[D]you then
And I guess I never will
