"This Is My Country"

(Curtis Mayfield)

Intro:

C# /C A#m /G# D#m7 D#m7/G#

/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /

(do-do-do)

Verse 1:

C# /C A#m /G#

Some people think we don't have the right

D#m7 D#m7/G#

To say it's my country

C# /C A#m /G#

Before they give in, they'd rather fuss and fight

D#m7 D#m7/G#

Than say it's my country

C# B F#7

I've paid three hundred years or more

C# B F#7

Of slave driving, sweat, and welts on my back

[1: D#m7/G#]

[2,3: D#m7 D#m7/G#]

This is my country

[repeat intro]

Verse 2:

Too many have died in protecting my pride

For me to go second class

We've survived a hard blow and I want you to know

That you must face us at last

And I know you will give consideration

Shall we perish unjust or live equal as a nation

This is my country

[repeat intro]

[repeat second half of verse 2; N.C. on "equal"]

[repeat intro to fade]
