[Chorus]
Dm Fmaj7/C
Southern man, better keep your head,
Bb G7
don't forget what your Good Book says.
Dm Fmaj7/C
Southern change gonna come at last,
Bb G7 Dm
now your crosses are burnin' fast, southern man.

[Verse 1]
Dm Bb Gm
I saw cotton and I saw black,
Dm Bb Gm
tall white mansions and little shacks;
Dm Bb Gm
southern man when will you pay them back?
A
I heard screamin' and bull whips crackin'.
How long, how long? Ah!
| Dm | Bb Gm | Dm | Bb Gm |
[Chorus]
Dm Fmaj7/C
Southern man, better keep your head,
Bb G7
don't forget what your Good Book says.
Dm Fmaj7/C
Southern change gonna come at last,
Bb G7 Dm
now your crosses are burnin' fast, southern man.
| Bb Gm | Dm | Bb Gm |
[Verse 2]
Dm Bb Gm
I saw cotton and I saw black,
Dm Bb Gm
tall white mansions and little shacks;
Dm Bb Gm
southern man when will you pay them back?
A
I heard screamin' and bull whips crackin'.
How long, how long? Ah!
