Intro: Just play F# C#7 G#m7 in different orders
Well, the [F#]summer day make a [C#7]white man l[F#7]azy
[B] Well, all I've ever k[F#]nown is poor
[C#7]Owe my skin to the cou[F#]ntry store
[G#m7]Dont own my walls,[F#7] my roof, my door
[C#7]But he tells me I'm free
[B]But I fight the w[F#]ill to live
[C#7]Hell might take but [F#]heaven gives
[G#m7]It's the only one so I[F#7]'ll forgive
[C#7]And Im not the one to grieve
And the [F#]summer day make a w[C#7]hite man l[F#7]azy
He si[F#]ts on his po[C#7]rch killing t[F#7]ime
[B]I gotta work to f[F#]eed my wife and [G#m7]baby
[F#]I work so god damn h[C#7]ard that it's a c[F#7]rime
[B]Well, I went down to the [F#]polling place
[C#7]The white men there just l[F#]aughed in my face
Saying [G#m7]boy, this aint no n[F#]igger's race
You [C#7]best get on your way
[B]Sir, I believe I've g[F#]ot the right
Said you [C#7]aint got nothing if y[F#]ou aint white
And I t[G#m7]hought I said get [F#]out of sight
Well, [C#7]what was I to say?
And the [F#]summer day make a w[C#7]hite man l[F#7]azy
He si[F#]ts on his po[C#7]rch killing t[F#7]ime
[B]I gotta work to f[F#]eed my wife and [G#m7]baby
[F#]I work so god damn h[C#7]ard that it's a c[F#7]rime
When [B]I was 'bout the a[F#]ge of five
[C#7]Watched my daddy b[F#]urned alive
[G#m7]They cut him low and they h[F#]ung him high
[C#7]Swayin' in the breeze
[B]The last words I [F#]heard him say
[C#7]Before they stole his [F#]life that day
Was [G#m7]forgive them lord, they've [F#]gone astray
Now t[C#7]ake me to my knees
And the s[F#]ummer day make a [C#7]white man l[F#7]azy
[F#]He sits on his [C#7]porch killing t[F#7]ime
But the su[F#]mmer day make[G#m7] a nigger feel c[B]razy[F#]
[F#]Might make me do som[C#7]ething out of li[F#7]ne
Solo (figure it out. Same chords...)
[B]Well, I dont know but[F#] I heard tell
Of a [C#7]furnace below a pl[F#]ace called hell
And w[G#m7]ho would catch me i[F#]f I fell?
[C#7]Who would pray for me?
[B]But one thing I[F#] see for sure
It's [C#7]hot as hell up [F#]here I know
And the d[G#m7]evil lives right [F#]down the road
[C#7]It's all the same to me
And the s[F#]ummer day make a [C#7]white man l[F#7]azy
[F#]He sits on his [C#7]porch killing t[F#7]ime
But the su[F#]mmer day make[G#m7] a nigger feel c[B]razy[F#]
[F#]Might make me do som[C#7]ething out of li[F#7]ne
D#m B (E barre shape)
But if you should see my wife
Tell her that I [F#]wont be home t[C#7]onight
D#m B (E barre shape)
So dont leave on the light
[F#]I got a little buisness down the[G#m7] road[C#7]
D#m B (E barre)
And If I'm dead by sunrise
[F#]Kiss my baby girl for[C#7] me
D#m B (E barre)
It aint life if it aint free
[F#]I got a mighty [C#7]burden to u[F#]nload
