To Each His Own Chords by Patrice Rushen

_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ A person [F] came to my front door just [Fm] yesterday
_ Wanting to know if [G] I believed in what they [Cm] say
You [G] cannot say if your ideas are [Ab] right or wrong
But you have yours and I have mine to [G] each his [Bb] _ _ [Eb] own
Oh, [Fm] _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [A] yeah, [G] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] yeah
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[Eb] _ And if it's got the [Fm] best will [G] come, or so they [Ab] say
The ones without won't care or [G] miss it [Eb] anyway
If all men [Bbm] have the right to take [F] prosperity
[Ab] _ I wonder why this choice is [G] such a rarity
[Eb] _ _ Maybe he's born a chance and life he [Fm] does deserve
_ Choices that he [A] has to choose [G] from he soon [Cm] learns
I think determined by the [G] color of his [Ab] skin
But let me take the time to see [G] what lies within
[Cm] _ _ _ _ Understand [F] it's a real [Ab] _ thing
_ _ [Ab] [G] To each [Cm] his own
Sacrifice, compromise, [F]
[Fm] through falling, trying, believing, [Gbm] yeah
[G] To each [Cm] his own
_ _ _ _ [F] _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] To each [Db] his _ _ own _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] You _ [Ab] _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ do it [F] your [Bb] _ way
_ _ _ _ [F] _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Cm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Db] You're on then, you're on then, [Ab] you're on [G] then, you're on [Cm] then, you're on then
Ten times a thousand questions seem to plague your [Ab] mind
Sometimes the answers are [G] impossible to [Eb] find
And everybody has their thoughts on what to [Ab] do
Can't really own what you think [G] for you is [Eb] true
Lonely, or we never seem to [F]
[Ab] satisfy
The expectations others [G] have of you and [Eb] I
So critical [Gm] of who I am and [F] what I [Ab] do
_ When you should [G] be looking at me
[Eb] _ _ _ _ Understand it's a _
[Ab] _ _ real thing
[F] [G] To each [Bb] his own
_ Sacrifice, [Eb] _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [G] compromise, through falling, [Eb] _ _ _ trying, believing, [F] yeah
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [G] To each [Cm] his _ _ _ own
_ [Fm] _
[Ab] _ _ So we [G] say
To each [Eb] his _ own
_ _ _ [Fm] _
_ [Ab] Understand it's a real [G] thing
To each [Cm] his _ own
_ [Bb] _ _ _
[Ab] _ To _ _ _ [G] each [Cm] his _ [Eb] own
_ _ [Bb] _ [Fm]
[Ab] To _ _ _ _ [G] _ each [Eb] his own _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
