Verse 1
There's a black (G major) man with a black cat
Living in a black neighborhood
He's got an interstate
running' through his front yard
You know, he thinks, (F major) he's (C major) got it so good (G major)
And there's a woman in the kitchen
cleaning' up evening slop
And he looks (F major) at her and says:
"Hey darling, (C major) I can remember
when you could (G major) stop a clock"
