_ _ _ Anybody in here from Howard University?
_ _ _ Thank you.
_ _ _ [C] _ Thank you.
OK, I didn't go there. _ _ _ _
_ But I didn't go there.
But growing up in DC, you [N] _ _ _ _
_ can't help but _ _
_ [B] just [C] be,
you have to [D#]
acknowledge the very important _ impact
[A#] that Howard University as an institution and its students
[C#] have on the city.
_ _ _ So I'd like to [D] _
acknowledge _ one _ [D#] very well.
_ _ _ Miss Roberta Flack.
[A#] _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Her _ first album _ _ was called First Take.
_ _ And it featured this song, Trying Times. _

[C] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ Trying _ _ Times _ _ _ is [D] what the [A] world is talking _ _ about.
_ [A] _
You've [E] got _ _ _ _ _ confusion _ _ _ _ _ all over [A] the _ land. _
_ _ _ _ Mother _ [C] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] against [B] _ daughter, _ [Am] _
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Dm] father _ _ against [D] _ son. _
_ [C] _ _ [E] _ _ The whole damn _ thing _ _ is getting [C] out _ [A] of hand. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ Folks wouldn't have to _ suffer _ _ [D#m] if [Dm] there was

_ You've got the _ [E] riots _ _ and the ghetto. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ And it's all _ _ around. _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ A whole lot of _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
things going down. _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [D] _ And _ _ _ [F] _ _ [D] _ in _ _ _ _ _ _ my _ point of view, _ I'd _ _ [G] rather _ _
stand _ [C] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[E] _ and you [A] would have _ _ _ one of you. _
[E] _ _ _ _ And folks [G] wouldn't have to [Em] _ suffer _
_ if [D#m] there was [Dm] _ more [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] love for _ your _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ brother.

[C] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ Folks always talking about _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ man's _ [Am] inhumanity to man. _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [A] _ [A] But what are you trying to do _ _ _ _ to make _ this _ _ _ _ better land?
_ _ [C] _
_ [C#] _ _ [D] _ You just [A]
read the _ _ papers _ or _ _ [D] _ turn on your _ _ TV.
You see a whole _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ demonstrated _ _ _ _ _ for [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ equality. _
