CHORUS:
Em Em D D Am Am C C
Across the lines, who would dare to go
Em Em D D Am Am
Under the bridge, over the tracks
C C
That separates whites from blacks
Em Em D D G G
Choose sides, or run for your life
Am Am C C D D
Tonight the riots began
Em Em D D
On back streets of America,
Am Am C C G G
They killed the dream of America


Em Em D D
Little black girl gets assaulted, ain't no reason why
Am Am C C
Newspaper prints the story and racist tempers fly
Em Em D D
Next day it starts the riot, knives and guns are drawn
Am Am C C
Two black boys get killed, one white boy goes blind


CHORUS:
Em Em D D Am Am C C
Across the lines, who would dare to go
Em Em D D Am Am
Under the bridge, over the tracks
C C
That separates whites from blacks
Em Em D D G G
Choose sides, or run for your life
Am Am C C D D
Tonight the riots began
Em Em D D
On back streets of America,
Am Am C C G G
They killed the dream of America


Em Em D D
Little black girl gets assaulted, don't no-one know her name
Am Am C C
Lots of people hurt 'n angry, she's the one to blame


CHORUS:
Em Em D D Am Am C C
Across the lines, who would dare to go
Em Em D D Am Am
Under the bridge, over the tracks
C C
That separates whites from blacks
Em Em D D G G
Choose sides, or run for your life
Am Am C C D D
Tonight the riots began
Em Em D D
On back streets of America,
Am Am C C G G
They killed the dream of America
