Tracy Chapman - Across The Lines
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO]
Em D Am C (2x)
[CHORUS]
Em D Am C
Across the lines, who would dare to go
Em D Am
Under the bridge, over the tracks
C
That separates whites from blacks
Em D G
Choose sides, or run for your life
Am C D
Tonight the riots began
Em D
On back streets of America,
Am C G
They killed the dream of America
Em D
Little black girl gets assaulted, ain't no reason why
Am C
Newspaper prints the story and racist tempers fly
Em D
Next day it starts the riot, knives and guns are drawn
Am C
Two black boys get killed, one white boy goes blind
[CHORUS]
Em D Am C
Across the lines, who would dare to go
Em D Am
Under the bridge, over the tracks
C
That separates whites from blacks
Em D G
Choose sides, or run for your life
Am C D
Tonight the riots began
Em D
On back streets of America,
Am C G
They killed the dream of America
Em D
Little black girl gets assaulted, don't no-one know her name
Am C
Lots of people hurt 'n angry, she's the one to blame
[CHORUS]
Em D Am C
Across the lines, who would dare to go
Em D Am
Under the bridge, over the tracks
C
That separates whites from blacks
Em D G
Choose sides, or run for your life
Am C D
Tonight the riots began
Em D
On back streets of America,
Am C G
They killed the dream of America
