"Be As"


G                         D
Julie wants to get out of town 
                   
                    Am
She needs to settle down 

                      C      D
Move to a place where no one knows her 

G                      D
Lisa just had to get away 

                       Am
Nothing could make her stay 

                C     D
Tired of living under cover 

C                        Am    D
Everybody knows somebody trying to get free 

CHORUS

      G
Be as white as you want to 

      D
Be as black as you want to 

      Am 
Be as brown as you want to 

          C        D
Don't let anybody stop you 

      G
Be as straight as you want to 

      D
Be as gay as you want to 

        Am
You can wait if you want to 

            C
We all need something to hold on to
