_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
I've been painted a [F] picture _ [Bbm] _ _
[Eb] of Angola, Louisiana.
_ _ [Bb] _
Pictures of Disney Bank [G] Alley, _ [Bb] where politicians [Eb] often hide.
_ _ _ [Gm] _
But it's much more important to me [Eb] _
than Angola, Louisiana.
_ [Bb] _ _
[Gm] Got a lot to do with justice, [Bb] but more with Gary Tyler's [Eb] life.
_ _ [Am] _
[Dm] I got a letter [Bb] from his [Gm] mother, said, please [Eb] say something to my [Cm] son.
She [Gm] said, _ Angola, Louisiana, [Eb] _ [Bb] you're the one.
_ [F] _ _ [D] _ [Bb] Well, [Gm] I ain't never been nowhere _ near _ [Eb] _ Angola, Louisiana.
_ _ [Bb] _
Not [Eb] in St.
Charles, Paris, _ where the sun won't go alone.
_ _ _ [Gm] _
Well, but [Dm] injustice is not confined _ [Eb]
to Angola, Louisiana.
_ [Bb] No, you can [G] walk in your living room as long as [Eb] it's around your home.
_ _ [Dm] _
And love [Gm] your brother Tyler, but after _ [Eb] all is [Ab] said and done.
She [Gm] said, _ Angola, [Eb] Louisiana, _ [Bb] you're the one.
_ [Eb] _ [F] _ _ [D] _ [Bb] Well, I keep telling men [Dm] not to defend themselves, _ [Bb] _
not at this late stage.
_ _ [Gm] _
Can't tell a man he [D] ain't got no right to know [Bb] where, [C] not in this [Gm] day and age. _ _ _
_ Some may not judge a whole lot of people _ [Bb] persuaded by the [C] truth.
[Bb] _
[C] But take [Bb] a look at what's going on, people.
_ [C] _
[Am] This all could happen to you.
_ _ [Gm] _
I've been painted a _ picture _ [Eb] of Angola.
_ _ [Gm] _ _
Now in St.
Charles, Paris, _ [Eb] where the sun won't go alone.
_ Yeah, [Gm] _ _
but injustice is not confined _ to [Eb] Angola, Louisiana.
_ [Gm] _ _
Well, it could be in your living room.
Brother [Eb] Tyler, hold on, be strong.
You're not alone, [Dm] say.
I've got a letter [Gm] from his mother that said, [Eb]
please say something to my [Ab] son.
_ _ [Gm]
Well, Angola, Louisiana, [Eb] _ [Bb] you're the one.
_ [F] _ _ Seems like I said [Bb] it [C] again.

_ Angola, Louisiana, [Gm] say.
Well, I'm doing fine, because I could have been doing fine.
[C] _ _
_ Angola, Louisiana, say.
I [Gm] could have been doing fine down there with my [Bb] show, but I'm doing fine.
[C] _
_ Angola, Louisiana, feel that [B] breath.
