Standard (EADGBE)

Liberty!

Bring on your greasy wings and your forked tongue

and that crooked lullaby you've been singin'

promisin' me things I ain't never gonna see

 but I'm hard on your heels you keep a' runnin from me

Red boy - White boy - Black boy

 We all got the same blues

she's a fever that I can't break

she's a sharp chill that I just can't shake

now I am up on blocks and I am tied to the stake

and I'm dreamin' but I am still awake

Red boy - White boy - Black boy

We all got the same blues

Now damn this dream for tearin' me in two

for tyin' me down, settin' me free and keepin' me runnin'

the grip of the fears and the skin that keeps us apart

all the tears and the blood in the heart

know we cry and bleed the same

Red boy - White boy - Black boy

ain't it a shame that we all got the same colorblind blues...

she's a full moon - she's a brush fire

c'mon sweet saboteur cut straight through my wire

Red boy Black boy White boy

We all got the same blues
