_____Am__________________C/G____________________D/F#____________F
They_tortured_him____and_did_some_things,___too_evil_to_repeat.

And_they_threw_him_in____the_waters_w-ide_to_cease_his_screaming_p-ain.
_______Am_______________C/G__________________________D/F#_________________F
The____reason_that_they_killed_him_there,____and_Im_sure_it____aint_no_lie,
_________Am________________C/G____________________E_____________________Am
Was_just_for____the_fun_of_killin_him,_____and_to____watch_him_slowly_die..
[Verse_4]
____Am__________________C/G___________________D/F#________________F
And_then_to_stop,___the_United_States,___of_yelling____for_a_trial,
_____Am__________________C/G____________________D/F#___________________E
Two_brothers_they____confessed_that_they,___had_killed_p-oor_Emmett_Till.
___________Am____________C/G_________________________D/F#________________________F__
But_on_the_jury____there_were_men,____who_helped_the_brothers_commit_this_awful_crime,
_______Am_________________C/G_______________E_____________________Am_
And_so_this_trial_was_a___mockery,___but_nobody_there___seemed_to_mind.
[Verse_5]
___Am________________C/G_____________D/F#___________F
I_saw_the_mor---ning_papers,____but_I____could_not_bear_
___Am__________________C/G_________________D/F#__________________E
To_see_the_smiling____brothers,____walkin_down_the_courthouse_stairs.
_________Am_______________C/G_________________D/F#________________F
For_the_jury_f-ound_them_innocent,____and_the_brothers_they_went_free,
______Am_______________C/G___________________E____________________Am_

[Verse_6]

If_you_cant_speak_out,__against_this_kind_of_thing,_a_crime_thats_so_unjust,
_____Am_______________________C/G____________________D/F#____________________E
Your_eyes_are_filled____with_dead_mens_dirt,___your_mind_is_filled_with_dust.
_____Am____________________________C/G___________________________D/F#_____________________F
Your_arms_and_legs_they_must_be_in_shackles_and_chains,_and_your_blood_it_must_refuse_to_flow___,
____Am_________________C/G____________E____________________Am
For_you_let_this_human_race,____fall_down_so____God-awful_low!
