Intro 1
In every American community there are
varying shades of political opinion
One of the shadiest of these is the liberals
(A major) (E major) (E major) (E major)
(E major) (A major) (E major)
An outspoken group on many subjects
Ten degrees to the left of center in good times
Ten degrees to the right of center
if it affects them personally
(E major) (A major) (E major) (A major)
(E major) (A major) (E major)
So here, then, is a lesson in safe
(E major) logic (A major) (E major) (A major)
Verse 1
I (E major) cried when they shot (A major) Medgar E (E major) vers (A major)
(E major) Tears ran down my (C sharp minor) spine
And I (E major) cried when they shot (A major) Mr. Kenne (E major) dy
As though I'd (F sharp major) lost a father of (B major) mine
But (E major) Malcolm X (A major) got what was (E major) coming (A major)
He (G sharp minor) got what he asked for this (A major) time
So (E major) love me, (C sharp minor) love me, (A major) love me, (B major)
I'm a (E major) liberal (A major) (E major)
