[E] [A] God knows social grace is never know my [E] place.
One thing I am sure of, [A] you can't judge a man by his [E] race.
Birth don't come easy.

[E] [A] There's music in the forest, children laugh in the [E] schoolyard.
On the skid row of the spirit, [A] hear the ranting of the western guard.
[E] Why don't you cool [D] out?
Can it [B] be so hard?
