Intro:

Uh uh uhuhuhuhuh (2X)

C                              Bbmaj7            C
The school board won't let him come to school no more
(No more, mo more, no more)
                    Bbmaj7                 Eb       
Unless he wears his hair like he wore it before
                       G 
(Wear his hair like he wore it before)
    F                                G        G7 
The PTA and all the mothers say he ought to look like the others

Chorus:
C           Em     F           C
Home of the brave, land of the free
                           F          G        C
Oh, why won't they let him be what he wants to be

The kids all laugh at his hair and funny clothes
(They know they hurt him so)
And more than once he's gone home with a bloody nose
(With a bloody nose)
He's not like them and they can't ignore it so they all hate him for it

Chorus

Em                   F        
He never hurt nobody that didn’t do him wrong
Em                                  F          G
Cause he's a little bit different tell me why that’s so wrong

Everybody says that I shouldn’t take his part
(No, no, no, no, no, no)
But when they put him down, how it breaks my heart
(It breaks my heart)
Instead of all the trouble they hand him why don't they try to understand him

Repeat Chorus 2x
