[D] Growing in a [E] neighborhood _ for such [D] a long time, [A] _ that is [D] filled with fear.
[A] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
I [D] can't go here, [A] can't go there, [D] and I ain't [A] supposed to. _
[Bm] We didn't rest _ anywhere at all.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] When I asked my [E] mom if she [D] could let me _ [A] _ _
go [D] out and [A] play _ _ like [D] little children [A] do. _ _
She said [D] be careful of the [A] strangers, _

_ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [D] Growing and learning and [A] gathering, _ [D] a _ _ _ [A] little more [D] exterior, _ [A] _ _ _
jumping [D] over the [E] fence.
[A] _ _
_ [D] Curiosity has [A] brought me, yes [D] it brought me in, [A] _ _
a [Bm] little common sense, _ _ _ yeah.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [D] Crossing the road of [A] _ life, I've [D] come to _ [A] _ this one [F#m] _ conclusion, _ [A] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [A] _
that [D] everything is equal [A] under the sun.
[D] All that is _ [A] created by [Bm] the mind, _ _ _ yeah.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ And [D] he said, look and it shall [E] be open, _ [D] seek and ye shall [A] _ find, _ [D] wisdom is [Bm] found in the [A] simplest of [D] things, in the nick of [A] time. _
_ [D] Knock and it shall be [A] _ open, _ [D] seek and ye shall [A] find, _
_ [Bm] wisdom is found in the simplest of things, _ in the nick of [A] time. _ _
[G] _ _ Now I've drawn [D] the same road of perfection, _
_ [A] _ _ just like the black heart man, [C#m] _ _ just like [A] the black heart man.
[G] _ _ _ _ It's in my [D] share of _ humiliation, _ _
[A] _ _ _ just like the black heart man, y [F#m]'all.
_ _ [A] The black heart man.
[G] _ _ _ You'll find me in [D] the prisons or the dungeons, _ [A] _ _ just like the black heart man, yeah, _ _ the black heart man.
[G] _ I even get slain [D] _ _ _ without reason, _
_ [A] _ _ just like the black heart man, _ _ just like the black heart man, y [D]'all.
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [C]
No [D] _ cross, no [E] crown, no [A] sorrow, no [F#m] laughter, _ _ [A] trial and parcel [D] in the ivory, [G] _ [A] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [A] _ _
_ [D] but the [G] heart of the [E] battle is the [D] _ _ _ [A] sweetest, _ _ [Bm] cause of victory, _ _ _ _ _ ooh wee.
[A] _ _ _
_ [D] _ Ancient [G] children [A] used to say, [D] if you want it you know you got [A] to run, [D] run, run.
How could [A] the world go through, _ [D] let a baby cross alone.
[A] _ _
_ [D] Them that drink of [A] the old wine [D] have no _ [A] place _ _ [D] for the new, [G] _ [A] _ _
[D] for the new.
[G] _ [A] And [D] the stones that are ahead of [G] the [A] corner are [D] the same _ ones [A] _ _
that [D] were filled with the few.
[E] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [E] Hear me when I say [D] now, it's the black [Em] heart man, [D] in the rain, who'll become [Em] the [A] wonder of the city.
