Аккорды The Chad Mitchell Trio - We Didn't Know

[Intro]
G
We didn't know at all;
C               G
We didn't see a thing. You can't hold us to blame
A             D7
What could we do?
G
It was a terrible shame,
C
But we can't bear the blame.
G          C             D7    G
Oh no, not us, we didn't know.

[Verse]
 G                         C
"We didn't know", said the burgermeister,
  G                       D7      G
"About those camps on the edge of town.
              C
It was Hitler and his crew,
     G               D7     G
That tore the German nation down.
Em
We saw the cattle cars, it's true;
G                    D7     G
Maybe they carried a Jew or two.
     Em
They woke us up as they rattled through,
    G              D7         G
But what did you expect me to do?"

[Chorus]
G
We didn't know at all;
C               G
We didn't see a thing. You can't hold us to blame
A             D7
What could we do?
G
It was a terrible shame,
C
But we can't bear the blame.
G          C             D7    G
Oh no, not us, we didn't know.

[Verse]
G                           C
"We didn't know", said the congregation,
G                   D7        G
Singing a hymn in a church of white.
                       C
"The Press was full of lies about us,
    G            D7      G
Preacher told us we were right.
Em
The outside agitators came;
G                             D7      G
They burned some churches and put the blame
   Em
On decent southern people's names,
G                   D7      G
To set our colored people aflame.
    Em
And maybe some of our boys got hot,
      G                     D7       G
And a couple of niggers and reds got shot,
      Em
They should have stayed where they belong -
    G
The preacher would've told us
D7           G
if we'd done wrong."

[Chorus]
G
We didn't know at all;
C               G
We didn't see a thing. You can't hold us to blame
A             D7
What could we do?
G
It was a terrible shame,
C
But we can't bear the blame.
G          C             D7    G
Oh no, not us, we didn't know.

[Verse]
G                          C
"We didn't know", said the puzzled voter,
 G               D7       G
Watching the President on TV.
                      C
"I guess we've got to drop those bombs,
   G                      D7   G
If we're gonna keep South Asia free.
Em
The President's such a peaceful man,
G                     D7      G
I guess he's got some kind of plan.
     Em
They say we're torturing prisoners of war,
    G               D7            G
But I don't believe that stuff no more.
   Em
Torturing prisoners is a communist game,
G                        D7       G
And You can bet they're doing the same.
  Em
I wish this war was over and through,
    G             D7         G
But what do you expect me to do?"

[Chorus]
G
We didn't know at all;
C               G
We didn't see a thing. You can't hold us to blame
A             D7
What could we do?
G
It was a terrible shame,
C
But we can't bear the blame.
G          C             D7    G
Oh no, not us, we didn't know.
