Bob Dylan - Only a pawn in their game

A ^Gbullet from the ^Cback of a ^Gbush took ^CMedgar Ever's ^Gblood A ^Gfinger fired the ^Ctrigger to his ^Dname A ^Ghandle ^Chid out in the ^Gdark A ^Chand set the ^Gspark T^Cwo eyes took the ^Gaim Be^Chind a man's ^Gbrain But ^Che can't be ^Gblamed He's ^Gonly a ^Dpawn ^Cin their ^Ggame

A ^GSouth poli^Bmtician ^Ampreaches to the ^Cpoor white ^Gman You got ^Gmore than the ^Cblacks, don't com^Dplain You're ^Gbetter than ^Cthem, you been ^Gborn with white ^Cskin, they ^Gexplain And the ^CNegro's ^Gname Is ^Cused it is ^Gplain For the ^Cpolitician's ^Ggain As he ^Crises to ^Gfame And the ^Cpoor white ^Gremains On the ^Ccaboose of the ^Gtrain But it ^Cain't him to ^Gblame He's ^Gonly a ^Dpawn ^Cin their ^Ggame

The ^Gdeputy ^Bmsheriffs, the^Am soldiers, the ^Cgovernors get ^Gpaid And the ^Gmarshals and ^Ccops get the ^Dsame But the ^Gpoor white man's ^Cused in the ^Ghands of them ^Call like a ^Gtool He's ^Ctaught in his ^Gschool From the ^Cstart by the ^Grules That the ^Claws are with ^Ghim To ^Cprotect his white ^Gskin To ^Ckeep up his ^Ghate So he ^Cnever thinks ^Gstraight 'Bout the ^Cshape that he's ^Gin But it ^Cain't him to ^Gblame He's ^Gonly a ^Dpawn ^Cin their ^Ggame

From the ^Gpoverty ^Bmshacks, he ^Amlooks from the ^Ccracks to the ^Gtracks And the ^Ghoof beats ^Cpound in his ^Dbrain And he's ^Gtaught how to ^Cwalk in a ^Gpack ^CShoot in the ^Gback, with his ^Cfist in a ^Gclinch To ^Chang and to ^Glynch To ^Chide 'neath the ^Ghood To ^Ckill with no ^Gpain Like a ^Cdog on a ^Gchain He ^Cain't a-got no ^Gname But it ^Cain't him to ^Gblame He's ^Gonly a ^Dpawn ^Cin their ^Ggame

To^Gday, Medgar ^BmEvers was ^Amburied from the ^Cbullet he ^Gcaught They ^Glowered him ^Cdown as a ^Dking But when the ^Gshadowy ^Csun ^GSets on the ^Cone That ^Cfired the ^Ggun He'll ^Csee by his ^Ggrave On the ^Cstone that ^Gremains Carved ^Cnext to his ^Gname His ^Cepitaph ^Gplain ^GOnly a ^Dpawn ^Cin their ^Ggame
