                     Intro: Am C G Am x2    

                  

                       Am                 C

                  (VI) Four little girls tying their sash

                              G                  Am

                       In the bat room that day

                       Am             C

                       Poking fun and making jokes

                                      G                 Am

                       Before getting on their knees to pray





                 (VII) Just so young with all their dreams

                       and years to the end

                       Strewn away in the rubble

                       By the hatred of scared white men





                (VIII) It was early December

                       in the year of '63

                       George Wallace defied

                       what the courts they did decree

                       



                 (VIV) They said make your school doors open

                       for the child of black and white

                       Wallace clenched up both his fists

                       and called out for a fight



                       Am                 C

                (Chor) Down in the Birmingham jail

                       Am                 C

                       Down in the Birmingham jail

                       Am                   C 

                       You had a chance to live your life

                           G

                       But now your locked...

                                         Am

                       In the Birmingham jail





                  (VV) When the locals heard the news that day

                       Their blood began to boil

                       They decided the only good colored man

                       Was down beneath the soil





                 (VVI) So with their hat and money

                       They began to conspire

                       And soon in Birmingham the air was thick

                       With Powder and Fire





                                 Chorus
