[Intro]
Em7  D   Gmaj7  Ab5 Db5 Eb
Bmaj7  A  Em
 
 
[Verse 1]
      D              G                 A  A7
To my mind it always seems a little strange
     D7              Gmaj7
That people won't do the things
                     Dmaj7  Em7
They know they ought to
           Dmaj7               G              A7
Some folks say the world ain't never gonna change
          D7
But in my heart I believe
Gmaj7                       Dmaj7
Those are the folks who got to
    D7                 Gmaj7
Who can't or for not to
 
 
[Chorus]
Gmaj7                    Gbm7
The day turns bright and night turns wonderful
Em7      A7           D              D7
Twilight never really brings into an end
Gmaj7                 Gbm7           Em7
If white is right and black is beautiful
                   A7
Lord, tell me when can brown begin
         Em7               A7     Em7
Tell me, people, when can brown begin
 
 
[Verse 2]
         D              G                 A  A7
Fire and water won't be mixed in, so they say
         D          D7     Gmaj7
But I've seen the steam-clouds
              Gmaj7  Em7
Floating high and free
         D                Gmaj7            A7
Salt and pepper don't get in each other's way
                    D7
You know, they just cooked together
Gmaj7                Dmaj7           D7
And when they don't agree, they just let each other be
 
 
[Chorus]
Gmaj7                     Gbm7
The day time's bright but night time's wonderful
Em7      A7           Dmaj7       D7
Twilight never really brings into an end
Gmaj7                 Gbm7           Em7
If white is right and black is beautiful
                       A7
Lord, tell me when can brown begin
         Em7              A    A7 Em7
Tell me, people, when can brown begin
