[Cm] Come to my [F] door, baby
[Cm] Face is clean and shining [F] black as night
[Cm] My mama went to [F] answer you know that you
[Eb] Looked so [F] fine
Now [Bb] I could understand your tears & your shame
[D] She called you boy instead of your name
[Gm] When she wouldn't let you inside
[Eb] When she turned and said
"But honey, he's [F] not [Eb] our [F] kind"
She says [Am] I can't see you any [D7] more, baby
[Am] Can't see you any[D7] more
[Cm] Walk me down to [F] school, baby
[Cm] Everybody's acting [F] deaf and blind
[Cm] Until they turn and [F] say
"Why don't you stick to [Eb] your own [F] kind"
My [Bb] teachers all laugh, their smirking stares
[D] Cutting deep down in our affairs
[Gm] Preachers of equality
[Eb] Think they believe it
Then why won't they just [F] let [Eb] us [F] be?
They say [Am] I can't see you any [D7] more, baby
[Am] Can't see you any [D7] more
[Cm] One of these days I'm gonna [F] stop my listening
[Cm] Gonna raise my head up [F] high
[Cm] One of these days I'm gonna [F] raise up
My glistening [Eb] wings and [F][ fly
But ]Bb[ that day will have to wait for a while
]D[ Baby, I'm only society's child
]Gm[ When we're older, things may change
]Eb[ But for now this is the way they ]F[ must ]Eb[ re ]F[ main
I say ]Am[ I can't see you any ]D7[ more, baby
]Am[ Can't see you any ]D7[ more
No, ]Bb[ I don't want to see you any ]C[ more baby
