McCarthy's Day Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
This is just [C]a song [D]to say
[C]That [Bm]I'm proud for what they [E]are
And [C]I hope my world [D]can take me
Half that [G]far

[Verse 2]
[G]Way back in Mccarthy's day
My par[Am]ents left the USA
[D]Young [Dsus4]rebelliou[D]s lovers[G]
They left behind a nation
far too [Am]proud
And powerful to say
That [D]love transcends all color[G]s
Some [Am]black men turned
again[C]st my father
Some [G]white men turned
against my mother
Each [Am]race has their place
they all would say
[D]

[Verse 3]
And [G]with a past so battle worn
And a fu[Am]ture begging to be born
They found [D]a l[Dsus4]ife that'[D]s growing
still today
[G]

[Verse 4]
[C]
And glancing through [G]the years
And living through their fears
[D]I hope they can[C] accept my [D]goals
[G]A bit confus[D]ed, a bit[F] unclear

[Verse 5]
[F]
And [G]all the years behind me now
Seem like [Am]a book I've read
and [D]yet somehow
[Dsus4]I still d[D]on't understand all the words[G]
All the black and all the white
That [Am]rest in me that make me fight
[D]Remind me of [Dsus4]all
[D]the knowledge left to [G]learn
Still [Am]some black men [C]turned
again[Am]st my f[C]ather
[Am]Some [G]white men turned
[D]again[G]st my mother
[Am]Each race has their place they
all [D]would say[Dsus4][D]
[G]With a past so battle worn
And a fu[Am]ture begging to be born
They found [D]a life t[Dsus4]hat's grow
[D]ing still today
[G]

[Verse 6]
[C]And glancing through [G]the years
And living through their fears
[D]I hope they can accept my goals
[G]A bit confused, a bit[F] unclear

[Verse 7]
[C]
This is just a song to say that I'm
[Bm]proud for what they [E]are
[C]And I hope my world can [D]take me half that [G]far
