YELLOW BRICK ROAD CHORDS
[Start] [Chorus] Am C G Am ■ What we have to do is deal with it when these individuals are young enough if you will to be E7 saved not in a religious sense but not to constitute what this country at times calls their Am throwaway children Am We seem to be approaching an age of the gross Am We all have this idea that we should move up a little bit from our parents' station and eachand each generation should do a little bit better [Verse] Am7 All right come on let's cut the bullshit enough Am Am7 Let's get it started let's start addressin' this issue and open it up E7 Let's take this shit back to the basement and we can discuss Am Statements that's made on this tape and its whole origin of Am The music that we all know and love the music we all enjoy Am The music you accuse me of tryin' to destroy Am Let's rewind it to 'eightynine when I was a boy Am On the East Side of Detroit crossin' eight Mile into Warren Am7 Into hick territory I'd like to share a story Am7 This is my story and can't nobody tell it for me E7 You have well informed me I am wellaware Am That I don't belong here: you've made that perfectly clear Am I get my ass kicked damn near everywhere Am From BelAire shopping center just for stoppin' in there E7 From the black side all the way to the white side A7 Am Okay there's a bright side a day that I might slide Am7 You may call it a pass I call it haulin' my ass Am Through that patch of grass over them railroad tracks D7 Am E7 Oh them railroad tracks them old railroad tracks A7 Am Them good old notorious so well known tracks [Chorus] Am So let's go back follow the yellow brick road Am7 As we go on another episode D Journey with me as I take you through this nifty little place F That I once used to call home sweet home Am7 Come on let's go back follow the yellow brick road Am7 As we go on another episode Esus4 Journey with me as I take you through this nifty little place E7 A7 Am That I once used to call home sweet home [Verse] Am I'd roam the streets so much they called me a drifter Am Sometimes I'd stick up a thumb just to hitchhike E7 Just to get picked up to get me a lift to A7 Am Eight Mile and Van Dyke or steal a goddamn bike Am From somebody's backyard and drop it off at the park A7 Am That was the halfway mark to meet Kim had to walk E7 Back to her mama's on Chalmers after dark Am A7 To sneak me in the house when I'm kicked out my mom's Am That's about the time I first met Proof A7 With Goofy Gary on the steps at Osborn handin' out some flyers E7 G We was doin' some talent shows at Center Line High Am I told him to stop by and check us out sometime A7 He looked at me like I'm out my mind A7 Shook his head like White boys don't know how to rhyme A7 I spit out a line and rhymed birthday with first place Am And we both had the same rhymes that sound alike Am We was on the same shit that Big Daddy Kane shit A7 Where compound syllables sound combined Am7 A7 From that day we was down to ride Am Somehow we knew we'd meet again somewhere down the line [Chorus] Am So let's go back follow the yellow brick road A7 Am7 As we go on another episode A7 D Journey with me as I take you through this nifty little place D That I once used to call home sweet home D Come on let's go back follow the yellow brick road Am7 A7 As we go on another episode ■ Esus4 Journey with me as I take you through this nifty little place E7 A7 Am That I once used to call home sweet home [Verse] Am My first year in nineth grade can't forget that day at school Am It was cool 'til your man MC Shan came through E7 He said that Puma's the brand ‘cause the Klan makes Troops Am It was rumors but man goddamn they flew Am Musta been true because man we done banned they shoes Am I had the new ones the Cool J Ice Lamb suede too E7 But we just threw 'em in the trash like they yesterday's news A7 Am Guess who came through next X Clan debuted Am Professor X A7 Exist in a state of red black and green with a key sissies E7 Now with this bein' the new trend we don't fit in A7 Crackas is out with Cactus Albums blackness is in Am African symbols and medallions represent Black Power Am And we ain't know what it meant me and my man Howard E7 And Butter would go to the mall A7 Am With 'em all over our necks like we're showin' 'em off Am Not knowin' at all we was bein' laughed at Am You ain't even half black A7 Am You ain't 'posed to have that homie let me grab that E7 A7 Am And that Flavor Flav clock we gon' have to snatch that Am All I remember is meetin' back at Am7 Manix's basement sayin' how we hate this A7 Am7 How racist but dope the X Clan's tape is D7 Which reminds me back in 'eightynine me Asus4 And Kim broke up for the first time she was tryin' to twotime me Am Am7 And there was this black girl at our school who thought I was cool Am7 ‘cause I rapped so she was kinda eyein' me D Bm7 And oh the irony guess what her name was Am7 Ain't even gonna say it plus Am The same color hair as hers was and blue contacts A7 Am7 D7 And a pair of jugs the bombest goddamn girl in our whole school Esus4 D7 A7 If I could pull her not only would I become more popular Asus4 But I would be able to piss Kim off at the same time Am But it backfired G Asus4 I was supposed to dump her but she dumped me for this black guy Am7 Bm7 And that's the last I ever seen or heard Am7 Or spoke to the Ole Foolish Pride girl but I've heard Am7 People say they heard the tape and it ain't that bad Am7 But it was: I singled out a whole race D7 And for that I apologize I was wrong Am7 ‘cause no matter what color a girl is she's still a [Chorus] Am So let's go back follow the yellow brick road Am7 As we go on another episode A7 Journey with me as I take you through this nifty little place Am That I once used to call home sweet home Am Come on let's go back follow the yellow brick road Am7 As we go on another episode Esus4 Journey with me as I take you through this nifty little place E7 Em7 That I once used to call home sweet home Em7 Fuck out of my house you fuckin' pieces of shit Am Get the fuck out of my house you stupid fucker Am You son of a bitch [Outro] Am7 Em7 A7 Am7 Am Asus4 ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ A7 G Asus4 ■ ■ ■ [End]
