Intro:

A5  E5 (x16)

Verse 1:

A5                  E5
 Walking along just kicking stones,
A5              E5
 Minding my own business.
       A5           E5
I come face to face, with my foe;
    A5                      E5
Dis-guised In violence from head to toe.

Bridge 1:

  A5                 E5
I holla and I bawl, (Ku Klux Klan),
        A5                 E5
But dem naw let me go, now.
   A5                       E5
To let me go was not dem in-tention.
            A5                   E5
Dem seh one nigger the less; the better for the show.
A5                           E5
 Stand strong black skin and take your blow.

Chorus 1:

         A5      E5
It's the Ku, the Ku Klux Klan,
A5                 E5
 Here to stamp out blackman, yah.
         A5      E5
It's the Ku, the Ku Klux Klan.

Verse 2:

A5                            E5
 To be taught a lesson not to walk alone,
      A5                      E5
I was waiting for the Good Sa-maritan.
    A5                           E5
But waiting was hopeless; it was all in vain;
    A5           E5
The Ku Klux Klan; back again.

Bridge 2:

  A5                 E5
I holla and I bawl, (Ku Klux Klan),
        A5                E5
But dem naw let me go now.
   A5                       E5
To let me go was not dem in-tention.
            A5                   E5
Dem seh one nigger the less; the better for the show.
A5                           E5
 Stand strong black skin and take your blow.

Chorus 2:

         A5      E5
It's the Ku, the Ku Klux Klan,
A5                     E5
 Rape, lynch, kill and maim;
A5                       E5
 Things can't remain the same, yah no!

Verse 3:

          A5                             E5
Black-man do unto the Klan as they would do to you;
   A5                  E5
In this case hate they neighbour.
      A5           E5
Those cowards only kill who they fear;
       A5                                 E5
That's why they hide behind the hoods and cloaks they wear.

Bridge 3:

  A5                 E5
I holla and I bawl, (Ku Klux Klan),
        A5                 E5
But dem naw let me go, now.

Chorus 3:

E5                A5        E5
 Ku Klux Klan, oh no, oh no;
A5                 E5
 Here to stamp out black-man, yah.
A5                     E5
 Rape, lynch, kill and maim;
A5                       E5
 Things can't remain the same, yah no!
A5           E5
 No, no, no, no...
