"This Is My Country"
(Curtis Mayfield)
Intro:
C# /C A#m /G# D#m7 D#m7/G#
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
(do-do-do)
Verse 1:
C# /C A#m /G#
Some people think we don't have the right
D#m7 D#m7/G#
To say it's my country
C# /C A#m /G#
Before they give in, they'd rather fuss and fight
D#m7 D#m7/G#
Than say it's my country
C# B F#7
I've paid three hundred years or more
C# B F#7
Of slave driving, sweat, and welts on my back
[1: D#m7/G#]
[2,3: D#m7 D#m7/G#]
This is my country
[repeat intro]
Verse 2:
Too many have died in protecting my pride
For me to go second class
We've survived a hard blow and I want you to know
That you must face us at last
And I know you will give consideration
Shall we perish unjust or live equal as a nation
This is my country
[repeat intro]
[repeat second half of verse 2; N.C. on "equal"]
[repeat intro to fade]
