Song Progression:
[Riff 1] x2
With [Riff 1]:
Her face is cracked from smiling, all the fears that she`s been hiding, and it seems that pretty soon evr`ybody`s gonna know.
And her voice is sore from shouting, cheering winners who are losing, and she wonders if their days are few and soon they`ll have to go.
[Riff 1] once more, then
With [Riff 2]: (chords shown here for reference)
C G My, my, my, I`m so happy, Bb F I`m gonna join the band. C G We are gonna dance and sing in celebration, Bb F E we are in the promised land.
With [Riff 1]:
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.
With [Riff 2]:
My, my, my, I`m so happy, I`m gonna join the band. We are gonna sing and dance in celebration, we are in the promised land.
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 although it takes a little longer, And when you see it in the distance you will wring your hands and moan.
