[Intro 1]
[Am][A][C#m][D][Bm][F#m][A][F#]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Come to my [D]door baby,
[Am]your face is clean
and shining [D]black as night.
[Am]My mother went to answ[D]er,
you know that you [Am]look so [D]fine.
Now [G]I could understand
your tears and your shame
[B]She called you boy instead of your name
[Em]Then she wouldn't let you inside
An[C]d when she turned and said,
but honey, he's [D]not our [G]kind[Em]
[D]She says, I c[F#m]an't see
you any[B]more, baby
[F#m]Can 't see you anymo[B]re
[Am]Walk me down to school,
[D]bab[Am]y
Everybody's acting [D]deaf and blind
[Am]Until they turn and say
Why [D]don't you stick to your [Am]own kind
[D]Oh, my [G]teachers all laugh
Their smirking stares
[B]Crashing deep down in our abyss
[Em]Preachers of equality
[C]If they believe it,
then why won't they just [D]let us [G]be?[D]
They say [F#m]I can't see you anym[B]ore,
baby
[F#m]Can't see you any[B]more
[Am]One of these days
I'm gonna [D]stop my listening,
gonna [Am]raise my head [D]up high
[Am]One of these days
I'm gonna [D]raise my nestling
wing[Am]s and fl[D]y
[G]But that day will have to wait for a while,
[B]baby
I'm only society's child
[Em]When we're older, things may change
[C]But for now, this is the way they [D]must remain
I say [F#m]I can't see you anymore[B],
baby
[F#m]Can't see you any[B]more,
I know [Em]I can't see you anymo[C#m]re,
[C]baby[Em][B][B][Em]
Thank
