[Verse]
A7
Her face is cracked from smiling, all the fears that she's been hiding,
A7
And it seems pretty soon everybody's gonna know.
[Bridge]
A7
[Verse]
A7
And her voice is sore from shouting, cheering winners who are losing,
A7
And she worries if their days are few and soon they'll have to go.
[Chorus]
C7 G7 Bb F
My, my, my, I'm so happy, I'm gonna join the band,
C7 G7 Bb F7 E7
We are gonna dance and sing in celebration, We are in the promised land.
[Verse]
A7
She hears them talk of new ways to protect the home she lives in,
A7
Then she wonders what it's all about when they break down the door.
[Bridge]
A7
[Verse]
A7
Her name is Brown or White or Black, you know her very well,
A7
You hear her cries of mercy as the winners toll the bell.
[Chorus]
C7 G7 Bb F
My, my, my, I'm so happy, I'm gonna join the band,
C7 G7 Bb F7 E7
We are gonna dance and sing in celebration, We are in the promised land.

[Verse]
A7
There is a train that leaves the station heading for your destination,
A7
But the price you pay to nowhere has increased a dollar more. Yes, it has!
[Bridge]

[Verse]
A7
And if you walk you're gonna get there though it takes a little longer,
A7
And when you see it in the distance you will wring your hands and moan.
[Outro]
A7
