D 
i was born A black boy
   G
my name is emmett till
A
walked this earth for 14 years
G               D
one night i was killed
    D
for speaking to A woman
      G
whose skin was white as dough
         D
that’s A sin in mississippi
    D            A
but how was i to know?

    D
i’d come down from chicago
   G
to visit with my kin
   A
up there i was A cheeky kid
  G              D
i guess i always been
        D
but the harm they put upon me
        G
was too hard for what i done
    D
for i was just A black boy
  A             D
i never hurt no one

D        G     D
oh oh oh oh oh oh
D        A     D
oh oh oh oh oh oh

     D
they took me from my uncle’s house
G
mose wright was his name
        A                          G
he’d be later standing without hesitation
          D
point the blame
       D
at the ones who beat and cut me
    G
and shot me with A gun
    D
and threw me in the river
           D                    A
like i was trash when they were done

      D
i was sent back to my mother
         G
at least what was left of me
    A
she kept my casket open
        G                   D
for the whole wide world to see
    D
the awful desecration
        G
and the evidence of hate
    D
you could not recognize me
        A             D
the mutilation was so great

  Bm
became A cry for justice then
      A
to be finally fulfilled
      G              D
all because of me ,  A black boy
   A               D
my name was emmett till

D        G     D
oh oh oh oh oh oh

oh oh oh oh oh oh
D        A     D
oh oh oh oh oh oh

         D
oh ,  that i had rather lived
           G
till i was too old to die young
A
not miss all i left behind
G                   D
all that might have come
D
summer clouds above my head
    G
the grass beneath my feet
    D
the warmth of A good woman
    D               A
her kisses soft and sweet

   D
perhaps to be A father
       G
with A black boy of my own
A                            G
watch him grow into A kinder world
           D
than i had known
      D
where no child would be murdered
        G
for the color of his skin
    D
and love would be the only thing
  A                  D
inside the hearts of men

     Bm
they say the horror of that night
   A
is haunting heaven still
      G             D
where i Am one more black boy
   A              D
my name is emmett till

D        G     D

oh oh oh oh oh oh
