Today In Charlottesville
Tono: Original
[Intoroduction]
Dm C Dm G
Dm C Dm G
[Verse 1]
Dm C G
There was a massacre in church that got certain forces moving
Dm C G
Many towns are now at least superficially improving
Dm C
Such as in Virginia, where a statue of General Lee
Dm G
Stands as a reminder of the days of slavery
Dm C
In the city center, an indelible mark
Dm G
In the spot that's been renamed Emancipation Park
Dm C G
Slated for removal, when a judge intervened
Dm C G
Which might be the moment that most fully set the scene
[Chorus]
Dm C
(For) 19 injured, one killed
G
today in Charlottesville
Dm C Dm G
Dm C Dm G
[Verse 2]
Dm C G
With their man in the White House, members of the Right
Dm C G
Marched through the university, torches alight
Dm C
Chanting against immigrants, Africans and Jews
Dm G
But it's not the flying bottles that put them in the news
Dm C
So much as the bigot in the car, revving his engine loud
Dm G
Speeding forward and then back, running down the crowd
Dm C G
Using the same tactic promoted by Islamic State
Dm C G
Maybe he was even shouting âGod is greatâ
[Chorus]
Dm C
(For) 19 injured, one killed
G
today in Charlottesville
Dm C Dm G
Dm C Dm G
[Verse 3]
Dm C G
More than half the city used to be in chains
Dm C G
Now their descendants who still remain
Dm C
Are being forced to leave by gentrification
Dm G
Just like poor white folks all across the nation
Dm C
And with the presidential tweets and xenophobic rants
Dm G
It's just a matter of time before some pawn takes the chance
Dm C G
To plow into a march with half a ton of steel
Dm G
This is not fake news -- it's real
[Chorus]
Dm C
(For) 19 injured, one killed
G
today in Charlottesville
Dm C Dm G
