A7

[Verse]

    A7
Her face is cracked from smiling, all the fears that she's been hiding, 
A7
And it seems pretty soon everybody's gonna know. 

[Bridge]

A7

[Verse]

A7
And her voice is sore from shouting, cheering winners who are losing, 
A7
And she worries if their days are few and soon they'll have to go. 

[Chorus]

C7            G7           Bb                  F
  My, my, my, I'm so happy, I'm gonna join the band,
C7                       G7                  Bb                      F7   E7 
  We are gonna dance and sing in celebration, We are in the promised land. 

[Verse]

    A7
She hears them talk of new ways to protect the home she lives in, 
A7
Then she wonders what it's all about when they break down the door. 

[Bridge]

A7

[Verse]

A7
Her name is Brown or White or Black, you know her very well, 
A7
You hear her cries of mercy as the winners toll the bell. 

[Chorus]

C7            G7           Bb                  F
  My, my, my, I'm so happy, I'm gonna join the band,
C7                       G7                  Bb                      F7   E7 
  We are gonna dance and sing in celebration, We are in the promised land.

[Verse]

A7
  There is a train that leaves the station heading for your destination, 
A7
But the price you pay to nowhere has increased a dollar more. Yes, it has! 

[Bridge]

A7

[Verse]

A7
And if you walk you're gonna get there though it takes a little longer, 
A7
And when you see it in the distance you will wring your hands and moan.

[Outro]

A7
