George Floyd Tabulatur von Beach Bunny (für Baryton)

G        
In the land of honey
     C        D
The rich make money
      G                   D
While poor cry out on the street

                G
And they try to silence
       C              D
The pleas with violence
   Am             D          G
Proclaim it’s in the name of peace

          F
While the news reporter
     D
Demands for order
       G              D           C
The crowd watches him struggle to breathe

          G
From the high tower
    C      D
The man in power
Am            D          G
Insists we protect property

       G         
In the land of freedom
    C         D
The people seldom
G                    D
Reap their born liberty

      G
For a person’s color
     C       D
Dictates how others
    Am            D           G
Dictate how their life oughta be

          F
While the privileged mutter
   D
On headline covers
    G     D          C
The crowd asks the police

               G
How can you expect us
     C          D
To think you protect us 
       Am        D           G
You murdered him in front of me

          G
In the land of glory
      C      D        G         D
The top page story resembles 1963

         G
And the man in power
      C             D
Says wait for your hour
   Am          D            G
But I still believe in that dream
      
       F
As the people riot
     D                
They try to keep quiet
       G             D          C
The screams spilling onto the street

         G
But the cry for justice
    C           D
Is louder than all of us
     Am            D          G
And we’ll fight as long as we need

       G
In the land of sugar
   C       D   
A person’s murder
    G             D
Is called “brutality”

    G      
And George’s brother 
      C            D
Cries out with his mother
     Am        D         G
As bodies pour over the scene

       F
The flames grew higher
    D
As shops caught fire
      G              D            C        D
And troops gripped their death machines


     G
But you can’t stop us
    C      D
Til every one of us
     Am          D     G
Can live in true equality
