Verse:
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
Far across the ocean
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
In the land of look and see
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm E MajorE
There once was a time
A augmentedA D MajorD
For you and me
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
Where the winds blow sweetly
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
And the easy seas flow still
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm E MajorE
And where the barefoot dream of life
A augmentedA D MajorD
Can laugh and cry its fill
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
Where slot machine confusions
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
And the plastic universe
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm E MajorE
Are objects of amusement
A augmentedA D MajorD
In the fiction of their curse
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
And where the crazy whiteman
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
And his teargas happiness
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm E MajorE
Lies dead and long since buried
A augmentedA D MajorD
By his own fantastic mess
Chorus:
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
For I hate the whiteman
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
And his plastic excuse
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm G+G
For I hate the whiteman
F#F# B minorBm F#F#
And the man who turned him loose...
Verse:
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
And the reins of coloured thunder
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
Of the stallion of the dawn
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm E MajorE
Ride the coalfire morning
A augmentedA D MajorD
On the beach where all is born
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
Where the emperor of meaning
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
Is burning up his forts
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm E MajorE
And sits to warm his toes around
A augmentedA D MajorD
A augmentedA fire made up of useless thoughts
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
And when the children tempt him
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
With the riddles of their trance
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm E MajorE
He flings the flames of solstice
A augmentedA D MajorD
Casting laughs into their dance
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
And while a crazy whiteman
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
In the desert of his bones
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm E MajorE
Lies as bleached as the paradise
A augmentedA D MajorD
He likes to think he owns
Chorus:
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
And I hate the whiteman
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
In his evergreen excuse
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm G+G
Oh I hate the whiteman
F#F# B minorBm F#F#
And the man who turned him loose...
Verse:
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
And far across the reaches
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
Of the drifting yellow sands
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm E MajorE
The living carpet wilderness
A augmentedA D MajorD
Forever joins its hands
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
With heaven hell's attainment
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
In a surging crest of fire
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm E MajorE
Where more than all is thrown upon
A augmentedA D MajorD
The ever lasting pyre
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
And through the countless canticles
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
Of Jason's charcoal fleece
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm E MajorE
Are sung the songs of nothing
A augmentedA D MajorD
In the timeless masterpiece
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
And there stood in the middle
Guess who?
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
It's the everlasting burst
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm E MajorE
Built by god's very own whiteman
A augmentedA D MajorD
As he tries to rule the dust
Chorus:
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
And I hate the whiteman
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
In his doctrinaire abuse
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm G+G
Oh I hate the whiteman
F#F# B minorBm F#F#
And the man who turned you all loose...
Verse:
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
And the bowels of his city
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
Have been locked into a safe
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm E MajorE
Where the spew stains on the sidewalks
A augmentedA D MajorD
Are defenders of his faith
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
While back inside his kitchen
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
The bowler hatted, long haired saint
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm E MajorE
Cleans with soap and water
A augmentedA D MajorD
But it's really just white paint
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
While his golden headed scandal sheets
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
Present their daily bite
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm E MajorE
To give their righteous news-bleeders
A augmentedA D MajorD
Drugs to keep them white
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
While outside in the whitewash
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
Where the guns are always, always right
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm E MajorE
A augmentedA shooting star has summoned
A augmentedA D MajorD
Its dark angel from his night
Chorus:
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
And I hate the whiteman
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm
And his evergreen excuse
D MajorD F#F# B minorBm G+G
Oh I hate the whiteman
F#F# B minorBm G+G
And the man who turned you all loose
F#F# B minorBm G+G
And the man who turned him loose...
