[F#m] [G]
[F#m] that black boy over there [G] running scared
His old [F#m] man's in the bottom
[G]
He's [F#m] done quit hypnotizing
[G]
Drinks both hands now he's [F#m] hanging in the bottom
[G]
See [F#m] that black boy over there [G] running scared

And don't you think it's [Am] a crime
[G] When time [F#] after time
[Bm] Don't you think it's [Am] a crime

I seen her [F#m] out there on the avenue
[Em] All by herself, shunning [F#m] hell from the bottom
[G]
[Bm] I seen her, [F#m] future man tried to help her [G] out
She burst the mat, hit him in the head [F#m] with a bottle
[Bm] They turned to me and they said
And don't you think it's [Am] a crime
[G] When time [F#] after time
[Bm] Don't you think it's [Am] a crime
