"Goodman and Schwerner and Chaney" from the album "Ain't That News!"
Music and lyrics by Tom Paxton
After each verse, you may pluck out a bit of the bass line. At that point, it looks like:
E|--0-3-2-0-----

repeated once or twice.
Em G D Em
The night air is heavy, no cool breezes blow
Em G B
The sounds of the voices are worried and low
Em G A
Desperately wondering and desperate to know
Em D Em
About Goodman and Schwerner and Chaney
Em G D Em
Calm desperation and flickering hope
Em G B
Reality grapples like a hand on the throat
Em G A
For you live in the shadow of ten feet of rope
Em D Em
If you're Goodman and Schwerner and Chaney
Em G D Em
The Pearl River was dragged and two bodies were found
Em G B
But it was a blind alley for both men were brown
Em G A
So they all shrugged their shoulders and the search it went on
Em D Em
For Goodman and Schwerner and Chaney
Em G D Em
Pull out the dead bodies from the ooze of the dam
Em G B
Take the bodies to Jackson all accordin' to plan
Em G A
With the one broken body do the best that you can
Em D Em
It's the body of young James Chaney
Em G D Em
The nation was outraged and shocked through and through
Em G B
Call J. Edgar Hoover, he'll know what to do
Em G A
For they've murdered two white men, and a colored boy too
Em D Em
Goodman and Schwerner and Chaney
Em G D Em
James Chaney your body exploded in pain
Em G B
And the beating they gave you is pounding my brain
Em G A
And they murdered much more with their dark bloody chains
Em D Em
And the body of pity lies bleeding
Em G D Em
The pot-bellied coppers shook hands all around
Em G B
And joked with the rednecks who came into town
Em G A Em
And they swore that the murderers soon would be found
Em D Em
And they laughed as they spat their tobacco!
