GALO GONZALES

Composed by Jeremiah

Intro:
(A)-(E)-(F#m)-(D)
(A)-(E)-(D)-(A)

(A)I once spoke to a (E)Mexican man,
He said his (F#m)name was Galo Gonza(D)les,
And his (A)people couldn't walk safe(E)ly
On the (D)white side of (A)town.

(A)He came (E)cryin, (F#m)cryin' to (D)me.
He said, "If (A)there's a God in (E)Heaven,
Then why (D)aren't my people (A)free?"

Well, I (A)answered and said, "I've (E)always been told
We live in a (F#m)land of equal(D)ity,
But it's (A)brown you're wrong, (E)white you're right,
And (D)that's how they play their (A)game."

First Chorus:
I said, "I (A)know I may be a (E)white man,
But my (F#m)color don't make me (D)free,
Because when (A)I preach the truth on the (E)white side of town
They do the (D)same thing to (A)me."

Then I said, (A)"Jesus, He was a (E)Jewish man,
He traveled (F#m)all throughout Is(D)rael,
But He (A)couldn't walk safe(E)ly
On the (D)Jewish side of (A)town."

He said, "I (A)know I may be a (E)Jew man,
But My (F#m)blood's gonna make you (D)free."
So the (A)Jews took one of their own (E)people
And they (D)crucified Him on a (A)tree.

Second Chorus:
"Oh, I (A)know I may be a (E)white man,
But my (F#m)color don't make me (D)free,
Because when (A)I preach the truth on the (E)white side of town
They do the (D)same thing to (A)me."

[Repeat Second Chorus]

Third Chorus:
"Oh, I (C)know I may be a (G)white man,
But my (Am)color don't make me (F)free,
Because when (C)I preach the truth on the (G)white side of town
They do the (F)same thing to (C)me."

[Repeat Third Chorus]
