Intro:

Am  Em (x16)

Verse 1:

Am                  Em
 Walking along just kicking stones,
Am              Em
 Minding my own business.
       Am           Em
I come face to face, with my foe;
    Am                      Em
Dis-guised In violence from head to toe.

Bridge 1:

  Am                 Em
I holla and I bawl, (Ku Klux Klan),
        Am                 Em
But dem naw let me go, now.
   Am                       Em
To let me go was not dem in-tention.
            Am                   Em
Dem seh one nigger the less; the better for the show.
Am                           Em
 Stand strong black skin and take your blow.

Chorus 1:

         Am      Em
It's the Ku, the Ku Klux Klan,
Am                 Em
 Here to stamp out blackman, yah.
         Am      Em
It's the Ku, the Ku Klux Klan.

Verse 2:

Am                            Em
 To be taught a lesson not to walk alone,
      Am                      Em
I was waiting for the Good Sa-maritan.
    Am                           Em
But waiting was hopeless; it was all in vain;
    Am           Em
The Ku Klux Klan; back again.

Bridge 2:

  Am                 Em
I holla and I bawl, (Ku Klux Klan),
        Am                Em
But dem naw let me go now.
   Am                       Em
To let me go was not dem in-tention.
            Am                   Em
Dem seh one nigger the less; the better for the show.
Am                           Em
 Stand strong black skin and take your blow.

Chorus 2:

         Am      Em
It's the Ku, the Ku Klux Klan,
Am                     Em
 Rape, lynch, kill and maim;
Am                       Em
 Things can't remain the same, yah no!

Verse 3:

          Am                             Em
Black-man do unto the Klan as they would do to you;
   Am                  Em
In this case hate they neighbour.
      Am           Em
Those cowards only kill who they fear;
       Am                                 Em
That's why they hide behind the hoods and cloaks they wear.

Bridge 3:

  Am                 Em
I holla and I bawl, (Ku Klux Klan),
        Am                 Em
But dem naw let me go, now.

Chorus 3:

Em                Am        Em
 Ku Klux Klan, oh no, oh no;
Am                 Em
 Here to stamp out black-man, yah.
Am                     Em
 Rape, lynch, kill and maim;
Am                       Em
 Things can't remain the same, yah no!
Am           Em
 No, no, no, no...
