"Brown Skin" - India Arie
Chords by Joan's Genius 2001
Chorus:
G Bb F
Brown skin, you know I love your brown skin
G F G
I can't tell where yours begins, I can't tell where mine ends
G Bb F
Brown skin, up against my brown skin
G Bb G
Need some every now and then
Verse 1:
G Bb F
Where are your people from? Maybe Mississippi or around
G F
Apparently your skin has been kissed by the sun
Bb G
You make me want a Hershey's kiss, your licorice
G Bb F
Every time I see your lips, it makes me think of honey-coated chocolate
G F
Your kisses are worth more than gold to me
Bb G
I'll be your almond joy, you'll be my sugar daddy
(Chorus)
Verse 2:
G Bb F
Every time you come around, something magnetic pulls me and I can't get out
G F
Disoriented, I can't tell my up from down
Bb G
All I know is that I wanna lay you down
G Bb F
Every time I let you in, abracadabra magic happens as we swim
G F
Higher and higher finally we reach heaven
Bb G
Come back to earth and then we do it all again, yeah
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Bb F G
Skin so brown, lips so round, baby how can I be down?
Bb F G
Beautiful mahogany, you make me feel like a queen
Bb F G
Tell me what's that thing you do that makes me wanna get next to you, yeah
(Chorus 2x)
