A bullet from the back of a bush took Medgar Ever's blood
[G] [C] [D]
A finger fired the trigger to his name
[G] [C] [G]
A handle hid out in the dark
[C] [G]
A hand set the spark
[C] [G]
Two eyes took the aim
[C] [G]
Behind a man's brain
[C] [G]
But he can't be blamed
[G] [D] [C] [G]
He's only a pawn in their game
[Verse 2]
[G] [Bm] [Am] [C] [G]
A South politician preaches to the poor white man
[G] [C] [D]
You got more than the blacks, don't complain
[G] [C] [G] [C] [G]
You're better than them, you been born with white skin, they explain
[C] [G]
And the Negro's name
[C] [G]
Is used it is plain
[C] [G]
For the politician's gain
[C] [G]
As he rises to fame
[C] [G]
And the poor white remains
[C] [G]
On the caboose of the train
[C] [G]
But it ain't him to blame
[G] [D] [C] [G]
He's only a pawn in their game
[Verse 3]
[G] [Bm] [Am] [C] [G]
The deputy sheriffs, the soldiers, the governors get paid
[G] [C] [D]
And the marshals and cops get the same
[G] [C] [G] [C] [G]
But the poor white man's used in the hands of them all like a tool
[C] [G]
He's taught in his school
[C] [G]
From the start by the rules
[C] [G]
That the laws are with him
[C] [G]
To protect his white skin
[C] [G]
To keep up his hate
[C] [G]
So he never thinks straight
[C] [G]
'Bout the shape that he's in
[C] [G]
But it ain't him to blame
[G] [D] [C] [G]
He's only a pawn in their game
[Verse 4]
[G] [Bm] [Am] [C] [G]
From the poverty shacks, he looks from the cracks to the tracks
[G] [C] [D]
And the hoof beats pound in his brain
[G] [C] [G]
And he's taught how to walk in a pack
[C] [G] [C] [G]
Shoot in the back, with his fist in a clinch
[C] [G]
To hang and to lynch
[C] [G]
To hide 'neath the hood
[C] [G]
To kill with no pain
[C] [G]
Like a dog on a chain
[C] [G]
He ain't a-got no name
[C] [G]
But it ain't him to blame
[G] [D] [C] [G]
He's only a pawn in their game
[Verse 5]
[G] [Bm] [Am] [C] [G]
Today, Medgar Evers was buried from the bullet he caught
[G] [C] [D]
They lowered him down as a king
[G] [C]
But when the shadowy sun
[G] [C]
Sets on the one
[C] [G]
That fired the gun
[C] [G]
He'll see by his grave
[C] [G]
On the stone that remains
[C] [G]
Carved next to his name
[C] [G]
His epitaph plain
[G] [D] [C] [G]
Only a pawn in their game
