Verse 1
(G major) There are men lost in jail,
crowded 52 room
There's journey wrapped
in a cage of a world
And the (C major) wo men know the (G major) place,
they sit (A minor) home and write letters
Then they (G major) visit once a year
When they both just sit there and stare (C major)
See (G major) how (A minor) we are
Gotta keep our (C major) eyes in between us
(A minor) See how we are
We only (C major) sing about it
once in every (G major) twenty years
See (A minor) how we are
Oh, (C major) see how (A minor) we are (G major)
Now there are seven kinds of coke,
five hundred kinds of cigarettes
There's freedom of choice in the U .S.
that drives everybody crazy (C major)
(G major) Down in Acapulco,
(A minor) well they don't (G major) give a damn
About kids on a chick blitz
with no shoes on their feet
(C major) See (G major) how (A minor) we are
Get the hell out of (C major) my way,
bean -shaking deal (G major)
See (A minor) how we are
(C major) We only sing about it
(G major) once in every 20 years
(A minor) See how we are
Oh, (C major) see how we are (A minor) (G major)
Well, this (A minor) morning
The alarm (G major) rang at noon (C major)
And I'm try (A minor) ing to write
this (C major) letter to you
About how much (F major) I care
(C major) Why I just can't be there
To draw your (A minor) bath (C major) and
comb your hair (D major) (D minor) (D major)
Last (G major) night at a nice bar
where things ain't so hot
my friend said I met a boy and I'm in love
I said oh really (C major) what's
(G major) this one's name
she (A minor) said his (G major) first name is homeboy
I said could his last name be trouble (C major)
see how we are (A minor)
homeboy (C major) is no one of those
South Central ghetto names see (A minor) how
We only (C major) sing about it
once in every 20 years
See (A minor) how we are, (E minor)
(C major) oh, see how we are (A minor) (G major)
Yeah, (C major) see how we are (A minor) (G major)
Now that highway is coming through
So we all gotta move
This bottom rung ain't no fun at all
Cause now farm (C major) s and rock houses
And (A minor) grape -flavored rat poison
Are the (G major) new trinity
For this so -called community (C major)
See how we are (A minor)
Gotta keep bars (C major) out of our windows
See (A minor) how (F major) we (A minor) are
We (C major) only sing about it
once in every 20 years
See (F major) (C major) how we are
Oh, see how we are (A minor) (G major)
See (C major) how we are (A minor) (C major) (G major) (C major)
(A minor) (C major)
Thank you very much for being here tonight,
we really appreciate it.
