D A Bm F#m G D G A (x2)

D A Bm
I've searched the open sky
F#m G
To find the reason why

Oh Lord, why Lord

The color of my skin
Bm F#m G
Is said to be an awful sin
D G A
Oh Lord, why Lord
[Interlude]
D A Bm F#m G D G A
[Verse]
A Bm
No, I cannot understand
F#m G
No, I can never, never understand
D G A
Oh Lord, why Lord

I've got to live and give
Bm F#m
Much more than I can give
D G A
Oh Lord, why Lord
[Bridge]
D A Bm F#m G D G A
Oh why, why why, why why why Lord
[Verse]
D A Bm
In this world it is no secret
F#m G
All the problems and hatred
D G A
Oh Lord, why Lord
D A
I just can't seem to find why
Bm F#m
My every move is so unseen
D G A
Oh Lord, why Lord
[Bridge]
D A Bm F#m G D G A
Oh why, why why, why why why Lord
[Verse]

Why this lonely man must try
F#m G
And can have no peace of mind

Oh Lord, why Lord

I just can't help but cry

The tears won't stay inside

Oh Lord, why Lord
D A Bm
I feel the weight of everlasting hate
F#m G
But my strength will not grow faint
D G A
Oh Lord, why Lord
D A
I'll wear the chains
Bm F#m
So every man must see the change
D G A
Oh Lord, why Lord
D A Bm
I ask no special kindness
F#m
I ask no special deed
D G A
Oh Lord, why Lord
D A Bm
Only peace and justice
F#m
Forever more
D G A
Oh Lord, why Lord
Why why, why why, why Lord
[Interlude]

[Verse]
D A Bm
Is it so much to ask
F#m
Even of you
G D
To be the same as the
G A
Majority
D A
Why is it that I must suffer
Bm F#m
Without even a cause
G D
And no one cares
G A
Oh Lord, why God
D A
I've got to live and give
Bm F#m
Much more than I can give
D G A
Oh Lord, why Lord
D A
I've got to live and give

Much more than I can give
D G A
Oh Lord, why Lord

Oh why, why why, why why why Lord
