[Intro]

C F C Am F C

[Verse 1]

Saw something today

F C

That made me cry

Fifty years old

F C

To young to die

C F C

Shot by a man who'd never recant

Am F C

Well who decided to give him a gun

Drop a little something

F C

To make it seem right

With wild youth watching

F C

On the other side

[Refrain]

I was told

To believe

C G Am

In a country that is free

F G C F C Am F C

But ain't nothing fair for you and me

[Verse 2]

Hey walter scott

F C

I'm singing to you

With 8 bullets flyin'

F C

Well what can you do

Oh we fought for something

F C

Called civil rights

Hey michael t slager

F C

What gives you the right

So i weep for the children

F C

Under our red flag

Stained from the blood

F C

Of nine body bags

[Refrain]

I was told

To believe

C G Am

In a country that is free

F G C F C Am F C

But ain't nothing fair for you and me

[Verse 3]

I gotta friend in the army

F C

Who's hoping for more

While ten drunk rich kids

F C

Sound the drums of war and

I'm so damn scared

F C

For my generation

Your minds so numb

F C

And little patience

While in the fields

F C

The innocent die

Shot by the men

F C

Who still have wives

I was told

To believe

C G Am

In a country that is free

F G C F C Am F C

But ain't nothing fair for you and me

[Verse 4]

Jeremy Quinton

I'm singing to you

Oh why won't America

F C

Listen to you

With their ears so deaf

F C

And my swallowed rage

Am F C

You know this lie they give is nothing but a cage

So i wrote this song

F C

For Walter Scott

'cause I'm not a jury

F C

That can be bought

[Refrain]

I was told

To believe

C G Am

In a country that is free

I was told

To believe

C G Am

In a country that is free

F G C F C Am F C

But ain't nothing fair for you and me

[Outro]

C F C Am F C

Oh no no no no.. [till fade]
