(A major) (D major)
Verse 1
(D major) Why is he cussin' and
callin' disgustin'
The city (G major) that is now his home? (D major)
He never smiles or keeps up with styles
He is black (G major) and he is all alone (D major) (A major)
And you ask why he's this way
Well brother you're too blind to see
It's 'cause (D major) Ellis (C major) Dee ain't
(G major) free like you and (D major) me
