[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][Am][Dm][Am][Dm][Am]
[Dm]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Coming from where he did
He was [Dm]turned away from
Every door like Joseph
[E]To eve[Am]n the toughest among us
That would be [Dm]too much

[Verse 2]
He [Am]did n't know what it was to be black
'Til they [Dm]gave him his change
But didn't want to touch his hand
To [Am]even the toughest among us
(Don't you know) that
would be [Dm]too much

[Verse 3]
[Am]Isn't it just [Dm]enough
How hard it is [Am]to live?
(Hard it [E]is to live)
[Dm]Isn't it hard [C]enough
Just to make it [Bm]through a day?
[E]Oh

[Verse 4]
[Am]The secret of their fear and their [Dm]suspicion
[E]Standing[Am] there, looking like an angel
In his [Dm]brown shoes, his short suit
His white shirt and his cuffs

[Verse 5]
a little frayed
[Am]Coming from where he did
[Dm]He was such a dignified child
To [Am]even the toughest among us
(Don't you know) that
would be [Dm]too much

[Verse 6]
[Am]Isn't it just [Dm]enough
How hard it is [Am]to live?
[E](Hard it is to [Dm]live)
Isn't it hard [C]enough
Just to make it through a day? [Bm]Oh[E]

[Verse 7]
[Am]Coming from where he did
He was [Dm]turned away from
Every door like Joseph
To [Am]even the toughest among
us
(Don't you know) that
would [Dm]be too much

[Verse 8]
He [Am]did n't know what it was to be black
'Til they [Dm]gave him his change
They didn't want to touch his hand
To [Am]even the toughest among us
That would be [Dm]too much

[Outro 1]
