Verse 1
Bm 
I've got seven days to
Am 
sell everything I own
Cause truckloads of us
are being driven from our homes
I'm prone to using logic
but the logic isn't there
And since they don't care,
I'm being teared away from
Dm 
the country
Am 
And I'm scared, broken glass everywhere,
F 
my house is left bare
Am 
So I stare into the sky,
I see why my heritage
makes me a criminal
F 
I've been beaten so hard,
Am 
my senses are minimal
My country, Tis of Thee,
C 
is the song that I sing
F 
But being led at gunpoint
E 
is so embarrassing
Am 
C 
Life I kerosene and blankets out of rags
F 
I got clothes on my back
E 
Am 
and none in my bags
They call me white freedom,
C 
but it's not the current status
F 
Each step that I take
E 
Am 
changes my apparatus
C 
For life, since this life is being taken away
F 
E 
Am 
I'd die for this country on any given day
I stay to the back,
C 
hoping to be forgotten
F 
But with every step I take,
E 
Am 
I can see I'm treated rot ten
I've gotten no respect,
C 
certainly it's the key
F 
What's being done to Jews
E 
Am 
is now be ing done to me
They'll fight for him,
C 
but they won't fight for me
F 
E 
Labeled American, but I'm not truly free
Am 
I see the rising sun,
C 
my flag in stores and stripes
Am 
C#m 
Am 
Yellow -skinned American really has no rights

Am 
Another day,
and I'm lucky to catch my breath
F 
So I pray that my life
Am 
will overcome and she
My flesh is weary but my
soul is strong so I keep on
F 
The government will have us caged
Am 
until this war is gone
I've bled for this country,
F 
I've even paid the tax
But they treat me like the enemy
Am 
cause I'm just a stinking chap
Whispers in the night,
do you really hear?
F 
Cause I've overcome my fright
Am 
that I'll be here for years
Sign me up for the army,
C 
I'll find my own family
F 
And kill the true enemy
E 
Am 
with anything you hand me
We got no options,
C 
just waiting for the truth
F 
And the truth is absolute,
E 
but the country's come unglued
Am 
Most soldiers silently sen
C 
tence us to death
F 
But their wishes are like miracles,
E 
they can't manifest
Am 
I'm fresh to your reasoning,
C 
I even understand
Fm 
But the com mon actions of the guards
E 
don't treat me like a man
Am 
The beat of my heart,
C 
I swear I'm all alone
Am 
I was king of my world,
C#m 
Am 
G# 
but now I've been dethroned
C#m 
I know, I guess I need
Am 
G# 
C#m 
a verge

The heart
Am 
says it's time to go,
I need some freedom
The heart says it's time to go,
I need some freedom
The heart says it's time to go,
I need some freedom
The heart says it's time to go,
I think I'll just sleep
I'm sick of being patient,
I need to escape
I've given it some time
but my pride will not break
My fate is in my hands
and it's got to be felt
C#m 
Am 
I can't play  this hand
with the cards that were dealt
No one else seems to feel the same
F 
So I'm all alone,
Am 
a free soul behind fences like a bull without bones
Sincere letters from mothers that relate
C 
F 
I watch clever mothers die
Am 
for sharing food off their plates
There's rules and regulations,
C 
you got to follow orders
F 
My country's torn against me,
E 
Am 
so I'll run for its borders
C 
I'll jump the fence, I  will survive
F 
E 
Am 
It all makes sense, just don't lose stride
C 
I will provide, I'll stay alive
F 
This is dedicated to my
E 
Am 
people that have died
C 
With slanted eyes, you got to think twice
F 
E 
This is for feeding us sushi
Am 
and rice chopsticks
C 
Won't stop at all, my profit was lost
F 
I was humble till you stumbled
E 
Am 
Now I've been crossed
Two years and ten days
C 
Locked inside this camp
F 
And I can't leave till you
E 
become the champ
Am 
Standing on the hand
C 
I'll take my leave with maps
F 
Surround myself in black
E 
Am 
Leave with all of the facts
What are we to you?
C 
Just a bunch of japs
Am 
Ten feet outside the camp
And I was shot in the back

C# 
Oh no, don't we get
Am 
G# 
the beat of my  heart
F#m 
All alone, no one else
G# 
Cdim 
but me and my heart
