Born And Raised In Black And White chords

[INTRO]
[E] [A] [E] [A] [E] [A] [E] [A]

[VERSE 1]
The [E]wind blows hard across the Texas plains

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

[E]Two boys playin' in the burnin' sun

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

[CHORUS]
In the [Dbm]christian [A]sense of [B]wrong and [E]right
We were [A]born and [E]raised in [B]black and [E]white
One [Dbm]learned to [A]pray, one [B]learned to [E]fight
We were [A]born and [E]raised in the [B]black and [E]white [A]
We were born and [E]raised in [B]black and [E]white [A]

[VERSE 2]
[E]Brother took to the gospel road

Spent his whole life savin' souls
When he [Dbm]looked at me, his [A]blood ran [E]cold
He [A]didn't even try [B]

I [E]had no dreams, I had no plans

But a gun felt good in my right hand
The [Dbm]warden asked, "How come you [A]killed that [E]man"
I said, "I [A]don't know why" [E]

[CHORUS]
[Dbm]"Welcome [A]home," said the [B]hot moon[E]light
We were [A]born and [E]raised in [B]black and [E]white
One [Dbm]lives to [A]pray, one [B]prays for [E]life
We were [A]born and [E]raised in [B]black and [E]white
We were [A]born and [E]raised in [B]black and [E]white

[VERSE 3]
[E]Someone handed me a cigarette

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

[E]He came to me with trembling hands

He swore he'd never understand
I [Dbm]said, "It's just what [A]life had [E]planned"
It's [A]destiny [E]

[CHORUS]
Don't [Dbm]waste your [A]tears on [B]me to[E]night
We were [A]born and [E]raised in [B]black and [E]white
I [Dbm]chose the [A]dark, you [B]chased the [E]light
We were [A]born and [E]raised in [B]black and [E]white
We were [A]born and [E]raised in [B]black and [E]white

[VERSE 4]
[E]Wind blows hard across the Texas plains

Makes some people go insane
While [Dbm]others quietly [A]pray for [E]rain
