Verse 1
(E minor) Black woman love,
black woman love,
black woman love
Black woman love, black woman love,
(D major) black wo (E minor) man love
There's something that I feel
that (D major) (E minor) black men have got to say
After all these (D major) many years,
(E minor) I think the time has come today.
Brothers, (D major) if we look closely for a (E minor) moment
and dig the struggle for liberation,
there's someone who's
been there with us,
(D major) and she's been there whatever
(E minor) the situation.
This someone has, at times,
(G major) been all (E minor) we've ever had.
(D major) She's seen good (E minor) days with us, brothers,
(G major) but we know that most
(E minor) have been mighty bad.
(D major) So fine (E minor) that her beau (G major) ty
is felt in the sound (E minor) of a whisper
It's (D major) time for us (E minor) to say (G major) right on to you,
beau (E minor) tiful black sister (D major)
As a girl you live (E minor) kind of rough
in this jungle
that we've all been placed
It seems that (D major) boys can
(E minor) 't get enough
when they discover so many
(D major) different types (E minor) of rape
In society you drown in bitterness
while trying to TCV
Your beauty (D major) ig nored
because it doesn't (E minor) ex ist,
according to TV.
Watching brothers with hate -filled (G major) eyes
as they (E minor) go the other way.
(D major) Some for reas (E minor) ons of real (G major) love,
some because (E minor) of what you
say. (D major)
But sometimes (E minor) you have a message
that for (G major) some brothers is mighty (E minor) hard to take.
(D major) I'm just as much (E minor) man as (G major) you are words
that can (E minor) make your man hate. (D major)
To (E minor) you, beautiful black sister,
be what (D major) you are, (C major) a woman, not a (B major) man.
Sister, my (E minor) old days are gone.
(G major) Today, together (C major) ,
we can make the (G major) stand.
The black (D major) man has (E minor) had inferiority
poun (D major) ded forever into his (E minor) mind.
It doesn't help to get bad vibes
from a woman of his kind.
To you. (G major) To (C major) you, after 300 (Bsus4) years. (B major) (E minor)
To you forever, (C major)
my beau (G major) tiful black (E minor) wo man love,
black woman love, (D major)
black wo (E minor) man love,
black (D major) wo man love,
(E minor) black (D major) woman love, (E minor)
black woman love. (D sharp major) (F minor) (D sharp major) (F minor)
To you for the nights that
our mother cried,
Cried, cause she was forced to lie,
forced to lie where our father sighed, (D major)
(F major) sighed the sound that
meant his pride had died. (E minor)
(F sharp minor) To you for the times that
you found a meal,
even if it meant that you had to steal,
and you couldn't steal a meal without making a deal,
and the man didn't think about how we feel.
Sister, rejoice, we found our pride,
our inner beauty is
something no one can hide,
the true beauty of black, my woman,
is ours inside
Today we know we can't
let our beauty hide
We can't let our children die
My black woman, I'm here
I'm here to love
Birth control (E minor) an d genocide (D major)
Destruction of (F sharp minor) your female pride
We must not let our children hide
(E major) Girl, (E minor) we must (D major) not let our children die
(A major) The time (F sharp minor) is now, let us unite
Together we (E minor) can make (F sharp minor) the light
Together we can make it right
Together, my black woman, we (F sharp minor) can...
Die!
To You Beautiful Black Sister
