Well, the Esummer day make a Bwhite man E6lazy
A B E6
Well, Aall I've ever Eknown is poor
F#mOwe my skin to the Ecountry store
Don??F#m?t own my walls, Emy roof, my door
But Bhe tells me I'm free
A But I fight the Ewill to live
F#mHell might take but Eheaven gives
It's the F#monly one so EI'll forgive
And BIm not the one to grieve
And the Esummer day make a Bwhite man E6lazy
EHe sits on his porBch killing E6time
I Agotta work to Efeed my wife and Ababy
I Ework so god damn Bhard that it's a Ecrime
Well, AI went down to the Epolling place
The F#mwhite men there just lauEghed in my face
Saying F#mboy, this ain’t Eno nigger's race
You Bbest get on your way
Sir, AI believe I've Egot the right
Said you F#main’t got nothing Eif you ain’t white
And I F#mthought I said get Eout of sight
Well, Bwhat was I to say?
And the Esummer day make a Bwhite man E6lazy
EHe sits on his porBch killing E6time
I Agotta work to Efeed my wife and Ababy
I Ework so god damn Bhard that it's a Ecrime
When AI was 'bout the Eage of five
F#mWatched my daddy bEurned alive
TheF#my cut him low and theEy hung him high
BSwayin' in the breeze
A The last words I Eheard him say
BeF#mfore they stole his Elife that day
Was F#mforgive them lord, they've Egone astray
Now Btake me to my knees
And the Esummer day make a Bwhite man lE6azy
EHe sits on his porBch killing E6time
But the sBmummer day make aF#m nigger feelA crazyE
BmMight make me do sF#momething out of liEne B

Well, AI don’t know buEt I heard tell
Of a F#mfurnace below a pElace called hell
And F#mwho would catch me Eif I fell?
BWho would pray for me?
A But one thing I Esee for sure
It's F#mhot as hell up Ehere I know
And the F#mdevil lives right dEown the road
It's Ball the same to me
And the Asummer day make a Bwhite man Elazy
EHe sits on his Bporch killing E6time
But the sBmummer day make aF#m nigger feelA crazyE
BmMight make me do sF#momething out of liEne B
(all in barre chords)
But if C#myou should see my Awife
Tell her that I Ewon’t be hoBme tonight
So dC#mon’t leave on tAhe light
E I got a little business down the Aroad
And C#mIf I'm dead by Asunrise
Kiss my Ebaby girl for Bme
It ain??E?t life if it aiAn’t free
I C#mgot a mighty Bburden to E6unload
