D
F#
Bm
Gm
I am a
D
racist,
F#
Bm
and of this there's little doubt
Gm
D
Black and brown faces,
F#
they make me nervous
Bm
when it's dark out
Gm
D
No, I don't wanna be this way
F#
But what can I say?
Bm
Gm
This is how America raised me
D
To always be afraid
F#
Don't take the blame
Bm
Gm
And you're probably exactly the same
D
In college I had a black friend
F#
Bm
He was cool and if you asked him
Gm
D
What it was like to be a black man
F#
Bm
He would laugh and say, let's pretend
Gm
D
That every single person you see
C#dim
F#
out on the street
Bm
Thinks you're carrying a
Gm
gun or a knife
D
Yeah, that's what it's like
C#dim
F#
Bm
Every single day of my life
Gm
A
I said, come on, don't you think
Bbm
That's a little dramatic
Bm
G
And she just shook his head
F#
Yeah, that's what the cop said
D
F#
I am a racist
Bm
Nervous, there's little doubt
Gm
D
Black and brown faces
F#
They make me nervous
Bm
when it's dark out
Gm
D
Now, I don't wanna be this way
F#
But what can I say?
Bm
Gm
This is how America raised me
D
To always be afraid,
F#
don't take the blame
Bm
Gm
And you're probably exactly the same
D
When I can't clean my apartment
F#
Bm
Sometimes I have to outsource it
Gm
D
That's when Carlos and Zoe come
F#
Bm
To do the job that I can't get done
Gm
D
Oh, but before they arrive,
C#dim
F#
I'll go and hide
Bm
Gm
Valuable things I want them to find
D
Cause you never know
C#dim
F#
The lengths to which some
Bm
Gm
desperate people go
A
Then one time I found a hundred
Bbm
F#
dollars on my couch
Bm
G
With a note that kindly read
F#
I found this under your bed
D
I am a racist
F#
Bm
And of this, there's little doubt
Gm
D
Black and brown faces
F#
They make me nervous
Bm
when it's dark out
Gm
D
Oh, I don't wanna be this way
F#
But what can I say?
Bm
Gm
This is how America raised me
D
To always be afraid
F#
Don't try to change and you're
Bm
Gm
Em
probably exactly the same
I fought it desperately
Bm
Cause I just could not breathe
F#
F#m
But it was so easy
F#
G
To see people differently
I looked at other things to blame
D
F#
And cast down their names in shame
But the problem always ended
Bm
G
in the same place
D
And that place was me
I am a racist
F#
Bm
And of this there's little doubt
Gm
G
D
But I am trying to change it
F#
Bm
Every time it rears it s head about
Gm
D
Cause I don't wanna be this way
F#
No mat ter what you say
Bm
I know the damage
Gm
and the role that I've played
D
So I'll take the blame
F#
Seems like a good place
Bm
to start anyway
Gm
D
I am a racist, yes
F#
I can't escape it, yes
Bm
I haven't really been
G
Troubled in my faith
D
F#
I am a racist, yes, but I can't es cape it, yes
Bm
G
I haven't really been trying my best
D
I am a racist, yes,
F#
but I can't escape it, yes
Bm
Cause I have it breathing,
it's running in my veins
Gm

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
