Verse 1
Come to my door, (D major)
baby (Dsus4) (A minor)
Face is clean and shining (D major) black as night
(A minor) My mother went to an (D major) swer your note
And you looked (A minor) so fine (Dsus4)
(D major) Now (G major) I could understand
the tears and the shame
(B major) She called you boy instead
of your name (E minor)
When she wouldn't let you inside
(C major) When she turned and said
"But honey, he's (D major) not our kind" (G major) (D major)

(C major) But for now this is the way
they must (D major) remain (Dsus4) (D major)
