3 -3 3 -3 3 -3 3
Her face is cracked from smil-ing
-3 3 -3 3 -3 3 -3 -3
All the fears that she’s been hid-ing
4* 4* 4* 4* -5 6 5*
And it seems that pret-ty soon
-3 3 -3 3 -3 3 -3 3
ev-‘ry-bod-y’s gon-na know.

-7 7 -7 7 -7 7 8* 7
And her voice is sore from shout-ing
-7 7 -7 7 -9 -9 8* -7
Cheer-ing win-ners who are los-ing
-7 7 -7 7 -7 7 -9 -9 8*
And she wor-ries if their days are few
4* 4* -3 4* -5 4*-3
And soon they’ll have to go.

Chorus
-7*-7*-7* -7*-7* -7* 7
My my my I’m so hap-py
-9 -9 9 -9 -9 8-77-6
I’m gon-na join the band
-7*-7* -7* 7 -7* 7 -9
We are gon-na dance and sing
-9 9 -9 -7* 7
and cel-e-bra-tion
-9 -9 -9 -9 -9 -9 8-8
We are in the prom-ised land.

She hears them talk of new ways
To protect the home she lives in,
Then she wonders what it’s all about
When they break down the door.
Her name is Brown or White or Black,
You know her very well,
You hear her cries of mercy
As the winners toll the bell.

* Chorus

There is a train that leaves the station
Heading for your destination,
But the price you pay to nowhere
has increased a dollar more.
Yes, it has!
And if you walk you’re gonna get there
Tho’ it takes a little longer,
And when you see it in the distance
You will wring your hands and moan
