Born And Raised In Black And White

• E

Verse 1: 
         E 
	The wind blows hard across the Texas planes 
 
	Makes some people go insane 
                               A  
	While others quietly pray for rain 
          E                    B  
	That's where we came from 
 
 
Verse 2: 
         E  
	Two boys playing in the burning sun 
 
	One with books,one with guns 
                        A 
	Mama calls but just one comes 
         E 
	The other one runs 

               A                E  
	In a crystal sense of wrong and right 
                 A                   B         E  
	We were born and raised in black and white 
              A                  E  
	One learned to pray,one loved to fight 
                 A                   B         E 
	We were born and raised in black and white 
                 A                   B         E  
	We were born and raised in black and white 
 
 
Verse 3: 
         E  
	Brother took to the gospel road 
 
	Spent his whole live saving souls 
                                   A  
	When he looked at me his blood ran cold 
            E 
	He didn't even try 
 
 
Verse 4: 
          E 
	I had no dreams,i had no plans 
 
	But a gun felt good in my right hand  
                                       A 
	The warden asked how come you killed that man 
                  E 
	I said i don't know why 
 
 
Chorus bis: 
            A                  E  
	Welcome home said the hot moonlight 
                 A                   B         E   
	We were born and raised in black and white 
             A                  E 
	One lives to pray,one prays for life 
                 A                   B         E   
	We were born and raised in black and white 
                 A                   B         E 
	We were born and raised in black and white 
 
 
Verse 5: 
         E 
	Someone handed me a cigarette 
 
	They offered me my last request 
	                   A              
	I asked my mortal soul be blessed 
            E                B 
	By someone close to me 
 
 
Verse 6: 
         E 
	He came to me with trembling hands 
 
	He swore he'd never understand 
                               A  
	I said it's just what life had planned 
              E 
	It's destiny 
 
 
Chorus ter: 
               A                   E  
	Don't waste your tears on me tonight 
                 A                   B         E  
	We were born and raised in black and white 
            A                  E 
	I chose the dark,you chased the light 
                 A                   B         E  
	We were born and raised in black and white 
                 A                   B         E   
	We were born and raised in black and white
