C^Cmome to my d^Foor, baby F^Cmace is clean and shining bl^Fack as night ^CmMy mother went to an^Fswer you know That you lo^Eboked so fine ^F Now ^BbI could understand your tears and your shame ^DShe called you "boy" instead of your name ^GmWhen she wouldn't let you inside ^EbWhen she turned and said "But honey, he's ^Fnot o^Ebur kin^Fd."

S^Amhe says I can't see you a^D7ny more, baby C^Aman't see you anymo^D7re

W^Cmalk me down to sc^Fhool, baby Eve^Cmrybody's acting d^Feaf and blind U^Cmntil they turn and say, "Why do^Fn't you stick to yo^Ebur own k^Find." M^Bby teachers all laugh, their smirking stares C^Dutting deep down in our affairs P^Gmreachers of equality T^Ebhink they believe it, then why won't they just l^Fet u^Ebs be?^F

Th^Amey say I can't see you an^D7ymore baby C^Aman't see you an^D7ymore

O^Cmne of these days I'm gonna s^Ftop my listening G^Cmonna raise my head up h^Figh O^Cmne of these days I'm gonna ra^Fise my glistening w^Ebings and fl^Fy B^Bbut that day will have to wait for a while B^Daby I'm only society's child W^Gmhen we're older things may change B^Ebut for now this is the way, they ^Fmust r^Ebemain

I^Am say I can't see you an^D7ymore baby C^Aman't see you an^D7ymore N^Bbo, I won't see you ^Canymore, baby
