Verse 1
 
Db           Cm            Bbm            Ab7 
Some people think we don't have the right 
            Ebm7          Ab7 
To say it's my country 
  Db            Cm                Bbm       Ab7 
Before they give in, they'd rather fuss and fight 
              Ebm7          Ab7 
Than say it's my country 
      Db         Cb              Gb7 
I've paid three hundred years or more 
     Db             Cb        Gb7 
Of slave driving, sweat, and welts on my back 
        Ebm7       Ab7 
This is my country

Verse 2
 
Db            Cm      Bbm           Ab7 
Too many have died in protecting my pride 
          Ebm7           Ab7 
For me to go second class 
      Db              Cm         Bbm         Ab7 
We've survived a hard blow and I want you to know 
     Ebm7          Ab7 
That you must face us at last 
      Db            Cb           Gb7 
And I know you will give consideration 
         Db         Cb         Gb7 
Shall we perish unjust or live equal as a nation 
        Ebm7       Ab7 
This is my country
