  Tall white mansions and  little shacks

 Am                          F        Dm  
  Southern man when will you pay them back

 Don't forget what your good book says
 Southern change gonna come at last
 Now your crosses are burning fast
 Southern man 
 Lilly Bell your hair is bourbon/golden(?) brown
 I've seen your black man comin' round
 Swear by god i'm gonna cut him down
