[Intro]
| F#m | E | Bm | D |
| F#m | E | Bm | D |
[Chorus]
F#m E
Across the lines
Bm D
Who would dare to go
F#m
Under the bridge
E Bm
Over the tracks
D
That separates whites from blacks
F#m
Choose sides
E A
Run for your lives
Bm D E
Tonight the riots begin
[Bridge]
F#m E
On the back streets of America
Bm D
They kill the dream of America
[Verse 1]
Asus2 A F#m
Little black girl gets assaulted
E
Ain't no reason why
Bm
Newspaper prints the story
D
And racist tempers fly
F#m
Next day it starts a riot
E
Knives and guns are drawn
Bm
Two black boys get killed
D
One white boy goes blind
[Chorus]
F#m E
Across the lines
Bm D
Who would dare to go
F#m
Under the bridge
E Bm
Over the tracks
D
That separates whites from blacks
F#m
Choose sides
E A
Run for your lives
Bm D E
Tonight the riots begin
[Bridge]
F#m E
On the back streets of America
Bm D
They kill the dream of America
[Verse 2]
Asus2 A F#m
Little black girl gets assaulted
E
Don't no one know her name
Bm
Lots of people hurt and angry
D
She's the one to blame
[Chorus]
F#m E
Across the lines
Bm D
Who would dare to go
F#m
Under the bridge
E Bm
Over the tracks
D
That separates whites from blacks
F#m
Choose sides
E A
Run for your lives
Bm D E
Tonight the riots begin
[Bridge]
F#m E
On the back streets of America
Bm D
They kill the dream of America
[Outro]
Asus2 A
Mmmm, mmmm-mmmm
Asus2 A
Mmmm, mmmm-mmmm
[Fade Out]
