Standard (EADGBE)

Fragile little thing go lightly on the wing

 Don't be put off your game

 If troubled wind should blow you off your way

 Natural love and trust

 Have downed their tools and struck

 The nation's heart it rusts is no suprise

 and seems so appropriate today

Black tears on a red rock

Fall right through and they dry up

How could it fail to grab your attention

 Black tears on a red rock

These trees bear a strange fruit

  Harvesting lies and poisoned blossoms of the truth

There's blood on all our hands and blood on our boots

 And black tears on a red rock

 An island watch house bed

 A black man's lying dead

 An island watch house bed

 A black man's lying dead
