Ruth B - If I Have A Son

[intro] x2
Bbm7  Gbmaj7  Db

[verse 1]
            Bbm7
If I have a son
Gbmaj7                        Db
       I'll teach him to be brave
                Bbm7
Cuz if I have a son
Gbmaj7                     Db
       he's never really safe
             Bbm7
And when you run to the corner
Gbmaj7
store for a snack
 Db
I wanna know that you'll make it
         Bbm7
back home
Gbmaj7     Db
Ho-o-ome...

[chorus]
     Bbm7      Gbmaj7             Db
Your skin, it glitters like gold
        Bbm7    Gbmaj7            Db
There's love inside of your soul
       Bbm7
But no matter what you say,
Gbmaj7
no matter what you do
     Db
This world will never be as friendly to you
  Bbm7
I wanna keep you close,
   Gbmaj7
I wanna keep you safe
  Db
I hope I see the day where I
                Bbm
don't have to pray
Gbmaj7           Db
Every time you go
Bbm7 Gbmaj7 Db
            Every time you go

[verse 2]
                Bbm7
And if I have a girl
Gbmaj7                       Db
      I'll teach her to be strong
                     Bbm7
Cuz even when you're right,
Gbmaj7                           Db
 they'll tell you that you're wrong
           Bbm7
And if you want something you'll
Gbmaj7
      work twice as hard
    Db                          Bbm
Cuz that's the only way we get far
Gbmaj7  Db
  Fa-a-ar...

[chorus]
     Bbm7      Gbmaj7         Db
Your skin, it glitters like gold
        Bbm7    Gbmaj7        Db
There's love inside of your soul
       Bbm7
But no matter what you say,
Gbmaj7
no matter what you do
     Db
This world will never be as friendly to you
  Bbm7
I wanna keep you close,
Gbmaj7
I wanna keep you safe
  Db
I hope I see the day where I
                Bbm
don't have to pray
Gbmaj7           Db
Every time you go
Bbm7 Gbmaj7           Db
     Every time you go

Bbm7           Gbmaj7
  I saw a man lose his life
Db
All cuz his skin looked like
  Bbm7  Gbmaj7  Db
mine
Bbm7              Gbmaj7
I hope the world makes a change
   Db                               Bbm7
So when you get here it's not the same
  Gbmaj7  Db
Sa-a-ame...
