Chorus:
G minorGm
Take it back, take it way back
DmDm
Take it way, way back to the first black man
G minorGm
Long ago before the white man
DmDm
Could paint the black man with a gun in his hand
G minorGm
Take it back, take it way back
DmDm
Take it way, way back to the first white man
G minorGm
At the very moment when they looked around and said
DmDm
"Fuck it, I’ma steal this land"
G minorGm
Take it back, take it way back
DmDm
Take it way way back to the first black man
G minorGm
Long ago before the white man
DmDm
Could paint the black man with a gun in his hand
G minorGm
Take it back, take it way back
DmDm
Take it way, way back to the first white man
G minorGm
At the very moment when they looked around and said
DmDm
"Fuck it, I’ma steal this land"
