Em         D            C            G
One day long ago, mama picked me up from school 
           Em        D                   C         G
She said, "Son, won't you tell me what's bothering you" 
         Em   D                  C       G
I said, "No, mama no, won't you leave me be."
           Em     D                      C     G 
She said, "Son, you know better than to lie to me." 
         Em      D     C     G 
Did they hurt you boy, no no no no
         Em      D     C     G
Did they curse you boy, no no no no 
         Em      D     C     G
Did they mock you boy, no no no

Lets rewind the clock maybe 8 months ago 
         Em           D          C           G
When the tracks of my tears were beggin' for snow 
   Em            D                 C          G
My angel oh my angel what are you doing this for 
        Em            D            C             G
She said I don't know baby I don't love you know more 
         Em       D     C      G  
It's the way you dress, oh why oh why 
         Em       D     C      G
It's the way you dance, oh why oh why 
         Em       D    C      G
It's the way you move oh why oh why

The devil he once told me you must stop this message son 
        Em             D            C            G
I said didn't you hear Sammy babe a change gonna come 
    Em          D             C              G
Now I will be the message my people need you see 
    Em              D             C         G
And I will give my broken brothers sanctuary 
         Em             D    C      G
But they will hurt you boy, I know I know 
        Em          D    C      G
They'll condemn you boy, I know I know 
         Em       D    C      G
They may kill you boy, I know I know
