Intro:

G  D Em C D  x2

Verse:

G                             D
Julie wants to get out of town 
                       Em
She needs to settle down
                       C        D
Move to a place where no one knows her 


G                     D
Lisa just had to get away 
                         Em
Nothing could make her stay 
                C     D
Tired of living under cover 


Em                           C             D
Everybody knows somebody trying to get free 


Chorus:

G
Be as white as you want to 
D
Be as black as you want to 
C
Be as brown as you want to 
Don't let anybody stop you 

G
Be as straight as you want to 
D
Be as gay as you want to 
C
You can wait if you want to 
We all need something to hold on to 

Em                                                     G
And if there is a way that you and I could both be free 
Em                                         G
Have a little understanding and we will be 

Verse: 

G                            D
Daniel moved to another school 
                   Em
Alliances can be cruel
                    C           D
When you're alone without nobody 


G                           D
Michael begged Jen to take a stand
                         Em 
And fight for the love they had
                       C     D 
But she'd rather deal with being lonely 

Em                        C                    D
Everybody's got somebody telling them what to be 


[Play Chorus]

Verse: [Play the same chords while singing the Nas instead of lyrics]

Na na na na na na... 

And if there is a way that you and I could both be free 
Have a little understanding and we will be 

Chorus: [has different lyrics but still the same structure]

Be as shy as you want to 
Be as loud as you want to 
Be as small as you want to 
Don't let anybody stop you 

Be as thin as you want to 
Be as fat as you want to 
Be as short as you want to 
We all need someone to hold on to
