Abm
The dark brown shades of my skin only add colour to my tears
Dbm Abm
Ooooooh That splash against my hollow bones, that rocks my soul
Looking back over my false dreams, that I once knew
Dbm
Is it because I'm black?
Abm
Somebody tell me, what can I do Oh Lord
Dbm
Something is holding me back
Abm
Is it because I'm black?
In this world of no pity
Dbm
Momma, she works so hard
To earn every penny
Abm
Is it because I'm black?
SOLO (same chords)
Abm
Like a child stealing candy for the first time, and got caught
Thiefing around life's corner somewhere I got lost
Dbm
Something is holding me back ahaaaaaaaaa
Abm
I wonder, is it because I'm black?
Somebody tell me what can I do
Dbm
You keep on holding me back
You keep on holding on
Abm(Abm
You're holding me back
I wonder why, you do me like that
