INTRO 



    E 
The wind blows hard across the Texas plains, 

Makes some people go insane. 
      Dbm            A        E 
While others quietly pray for rain, 
A            E       B 
That's where we came from. 



E      
Two boys playing in the burning sun, 

One with books and one with guns. 
Dbm            A        E      
Mama calls but just one comes, 
    A              E 
The other one runs. 



       Dbm       A        B         E 
With a Christian sense of wrong and right, 
        A        E         B         E 
We were born and raised in black and white. 
    Dbm        A         B        E 
One learned to pray, one loved to fight, 
        A        E         B         E     A 
We were born and raised in black and white. 



   E       
My brother took to the gospel road, 

Spent his whole life saving souls. 
        Dbm                  A         E 
Well he looked at me and his blood ran cold, 
   A               B 
He didn't even try. 



  E  
I had no dreams and I had no plans, 

But a gun felt good in my right hand. 
Dbm                       A           E          
Warden said 'How come you killed that man?' 
          A               E 
I said 'I don't know why'. 



Dbm     A             B       E   
Welcome home said the hot moonlight, 
        A        E         B         E 
We were born and raised in black and white. 
    Dbm      A         B        E 
One lives to pray, one waits to die, 
        A        E         B         E 
We were born and raised in black and white. 
        A        E         B         E 
We were born and raised in black and white.

INSTRUMENTAL 



E 
Someone handed me a cigarette, 

They offered me my last request. 
  Dbm             A       E 
I asked my mortal soul be blessed, 
   A       E        B 
By someone close to me. 



  E 
I came to him with trembling hands, 

I swore I'd never understand. 
   Dbm                A        E 
He said its just what life had planned, 
     A       E  
It's destiny. 



         Dbm        A        B    E 
So don't waste your tears on me tonight, 
        A        E         B         E 
We were born and raised in black and white. 
    Dbm       A       B         E 
You chose the dark, I chase the light, 
        A        E         B         E 
We were born and raised in black and white. 
        A        E         B         E     A  E  A 
We were born and raised in black and white.

Makes some people go insane. 
      Dbm            A        E    A  E  A  E  A  E  A  E  A  E  (to fade) 
While others quietly pray for rain...
