It isn't nice to [Em]block the doorway
[Am]It isn't nice to [D]go to jail
[G]There are nicer [Em]ways to do it
[Am]But the nice ways [D]always fail
[G]It isn't nice, [Em]it isn't nice

We don't [G]min[Em]d__[Am]__, no, no, [D]no [G]

[VERSE 3]
We have tried neg[Em]otiations
[Am]And the three-man [D]picket line
[G]Mr. Charlie didn't [Em]see us
[Am]And he might as [D]well be blind
[G]Now our new ways [Em]aren't nice
[C]When we deal with [D]men of ice
But [C]if that is Freedom's [D]price
We don't [G]min[Em]d__[Am]__, no, no, [D]no
We don't [G]min[Em]d__[Am]__, no, no, [D]no [G]

[VERSE 4]
How about those [Em]years of lynchings
[Am]And the shot in [D]Evers' back?
[G]Did you say it [Em]wasn't proper
[Am]Did you stand u[D]pon the track?
[G]You were quiet [Em]just like mice
[C]Now you say [D]we aren't nice
And [C]if that is Freedom's [D]price
We don't [G]min[Em]d__[Am]__, no, no, [D]no
We don't [G]min[Em]d__[Am]__, no, no, [D]no [G]
