Verse 1
Am 
I've noticed down
through the years
Dm 
that the loud shouters and
Am 
absolutists in this field
usually don't have much of
Dm 
importance to say.
I've learned to listen to the calm,
Am 
friendly people
who don't make a lot of claims,
Dm 
Am 
but I've found do  make
Dm 
Am 
a lot of sense.
Mr. Blue Boy
I hear you blowing your horn,
Dm 
and I hear the crack of the
jimmy crack corn
Am 
But this is a story of a different kind,
Dm 
one that will amuse and
Am 
amaze your mind
About a young British lad
named Joshua,
Dm 
hyped up to  take a trip to America
Am 
The very same country that in
-house the slaves,
Dm 
land of the free and home of the brave
Am 
Now the picture that Joshua
had in his mind was,
Dm 
go to America and visit his cuz
Am 
And he's not really worried
about what to expect
Because,
Dm 
you know, he gave America enough respect
Am 
Now it's a eight -hour plane ride to NYC
Dm 
And when Josh arrived,
he was surprised to see
Am 
People from all types of denominations
Dm 
Many, many lands of various nations
Am 
So he went to his cousins,
dropped off his things
Dm 
Am 
Eager to learn of what America brings
To his attention, quick interruption
Dm 
Somebody yells out,
Am 
What's up, light skin?
Josh never thought of himself as light
Dm 
Frankly put, he thought life was white.
Am 
You that divides our races,
Dm 
well, stop the scene.
Am 
Faith to black.
Dm 
Am 
Faith, faith, to black, to black.
Dm 
Am 
Dm 
Faith, faith, to black, to black.
Am 
Faith, faith, to black, to black.
125th Street, Uptown,
Dm 
just to see the people
from six blocks down
Am 
All the street merchants
selling African pendants
Dm 
All kind of shirts bearing African print
Am 
So we stopped at a table
to look at the goods
Dm 
He stumbled upon an issue
not quite understood
Am 
Was this true?
That just two years ago
Dm 
This guy was selling shirts
with a Gucci logo
Am 
He thought here heritage was true
Dm 
Am 
Constantly studied but not knew
Does this mean it could be a fad
Dm 
And now little Josh felt hell of a bad
Am 
Just think over in Britain,
where he's from
Dm 
Folks al  ways seem to know
Am 
where they come from 125th Street,
where it's at
Dm 
Am 
Stop the scene, fade to black
Dm 
Am 
Fade, fade, fade, fade to black
Dm 
Am 
Fade, fade, fade, fade to black to black
Dm 
Think, think, think,
Am 
Dm 
think to black to black
Am 
Josh didn't leave
when he prepared to go
Dm 
Steady flow in New York
made his funds kind of low
Am 
His cousins couldn't provide but so much
And so much for Joshua's luck
Thoughts of being home
turned into humility
Dm 
And replaced by responsibility
Am 
Josh took the task to care for himself
Dm 
Am 
And if you walk down 125th
Dm 
you'll see a lad with a table
selling all kinds of gifts.
Am 
Sad to say Josh won't be back.
Dm 
Am 
Stop the scene. Fates of Black.
Dm 
Am 
Dm 
Fates. Fates. Fates. Fates. Fates. Fates. Fates. Fates.
Am 
Dm 
Am 
Fates. Fates. Fates. Fates. Fates. Fates.
Dm 
So
Am 
Dm 
Am 
I'm with you
Dm 
I'm with you
Am
