Verse 1

[E]

Mr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash,

Just who do think I am?

[A7]

You raise my taxes, freeze my wages,

[E] [A7]

Send my son to Vietnam.

You give me second class houses,

[E] [A7]

You give me second class schools,

Do you think that colored folks

[E]

Are just second class fools?

[B]

Mr. Backlash

[A7] [E] [B7]

I'm gonna leave you with the Backlash Blues.

Verse 2

[E]

When I try to find a job

To earn a little cash,

[A]

All you got to offer

[E]

Is your white backlash,

[A7]

But the world is big

[E] [A7]

Big, bright and round

And it's full of folks like me

[E]

Who are black, yellow, beige and brown

[B7]

Mr. Backlash,

[E]

I'm gonna leave you with the Backlash Blues.

Verse 3

[E]

Mr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash,

What do you think I got to lose?

[A7]

I'm gonna leave you

[E]

With the Backlash Blues.

[B7]

You're the one will have the blues, not me,

[A7] [E]

Just wait and see!
