Verse 1
(G major)
down on Sydney (D major) Cov (G major) e
The (D major) firstborn (A major) people laugh (B minor) and they say
Sorry (G major) boy, Arkansas, (D major) you're lost
We're (G major) gonna have (A major) to take this land (B minor)
You break (G major) out under Brit (D major) ish rule
You (A major) manage sure you're gonna hang
(B minor) You (G major) work your life like a con (D major) vict
With a (A major) chain on your neck and hand
And they (B minor) say
(G major) Poor black man, thou shalt (D major) not steal (E minor) (A major)
Oh, (G major) black woman, thou shalt not steal (E minor)
(G major) With (A major) your (G major) science and
your techno (D major) logy
You (A major) go and you make a nuclear bomb
The (B minor) (G major) population is in grease
(D major) So you go and (G major) make a
(A major) female your megaton
(B minor) And (G major) if you think that's pro (D major) gress
I suggest you (A major) reason in some sound
(B minor) For you should (G major) have found that along (D major)
You got (G major) ta keep (A major) it in the ground (B minor)
And they say (G major)
Oh, black man,
(D major) thou shalt not steal (E minor) (A major)
Oh, (G major) black woman,
(D major) thou shalt (G major) not steal (E minor) (G major)
(A major) We're (B minor) (G major) gonna civilize
your black barbed (D major) wire
We're (G major) teach (E minor) you how to kneel
(B minor) (G major) (D major)
(A major) (B minor) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) (A major)
(B minor) Well, it's (G major) you and me and Je (D major) sus
Sitting underneath (A major) Indre Bilye Bridge
(B minor) Watching (G major) that blazing
sun (D major) go down (D minor)
Behind that (A major) tall tree and mountain ridge
(B minor) The land's our (G major) heritage and spir (D major) it
The (G major) rockbook (A major) culture here
is black (B minor)
We're (G major) still sitting here won (D major) dering
when (A major) we're gonna get it back (B minor)
And they say, (G major) oh, black man, (D major)
thou shalt not steal (E minor) (Asus4)
(A major) Oh, (G major) black woman,
thou shalt not steal (E minor)
(A major) We're gonna (G major) civilize
your black barbaric lives
And we'll (E minor) teach you how to live
(A major) But your (G major) history couldn't
have a genocide
It's the hy (E minor) pocrisy that is real
(A major) Didn't (G major) Jesus say you're supposed to keep the
oppressed (E minor) a better deal? (B minor) (G major) (D major) (A major) (B minor)
Bet (G major) ter deal (D major) (G major) (A major)
(B minor) Well they (G major) talk of conservation
(D major) Keeping the forest (A major) pristine green
(B minor) But in (G major) 200 years of ma (D major) terialism
You've (A major) stripped that forest clean (B minor)
And (G major) race is a contradiction
(D major) Understood by (A major) mostly none
(B minor) When the (G major) left hand holds the (D major) Bible
An (A major) d the right hand holds the gun (B minor)
And they say
(G major) Oh black man, (D major) thou shalt (G major) not steal (E minor) (A major)
Oh, (G major) black woman, thou shalt not steal (E minor)
(A major) We're (G major) gonna see that light,
you're black (D major) or very loud
(G major) And I'll teach you right on the heel
(A major) But the (G major) history couldn't
hide the gen (D major) ocide
It's the hy (E minor) pocrisy that is real (A major)
Didn't (G major) Jesus say it's supposed to
give (D major) the oppressed (E minor) a better deal?
(A major) So I (G major) say to you, yes, white man,
thou shalt (D major) not steal (E minor) (G major) (A major)
Oh, (G major) yes, I'll land, you better yield (E minor) (A major)
(G major) Yes, white man, (D major) thou shalt not steal (E minor) (A major)
Oh, (G major) yes, I'll (D major) land, you (G major) better yield (E minor) (A major)
(G major) Oh, I'm in a shell of (G major) hearts, steel
