Backlash Blues Chords

[Verse 1]
    E
Mr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash,
 
Just who do think I am?
    A7
You raise my taxes, freeze my wages,
 E                      A7
Send my son to Vietnam.
 
You give me second class houses,
E                                 A7
You give me second class schools,
 
Do you think that colored folks
    E
Are just second class fools?
 
    B
Mr. Backlash
          A7                                  E    B7
I'm gonna leave you with the Backlash Blues.
 
[Verse 2]
E
When I try to find a job
 
To earn a little cash,
A
All you got to offer
        E
Is your white backlash,
A7
But the world is big
E                      A7
Big, bright and round
 
And it's full of folks like me
        E
Who are black, yellow, beige and brown
 
    B7
Mr. Backlash,
                                             E
I'm gonna leave you with the Backlash Blues.
 
[Verse 3]
    E
Mr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash,
 
What do you think I got to lose?
A7
I'm gonna leave you
         E
With the Backlash Blues.
 
                                    B7
You're the one will have the blues, not me,
A7            E
Just wait and see!
