       Dm
I'm a simple man
With a simple name
           C
From this soil my people came
               G
In this soil remain
F  Dm    F  Dm
Oh yeah, oh yeah

And we made us our shoes
And we trod soft on the land
But the immigrant built roads
On our blood and sand
Oh yeah

Chorus:
  F    Dm    F    Dm
White man, White man
                   G
Don't you see the light
        A#              Dm
behind your blackened skies
  F    Dm    F     Dm
White man, White man
                   G        A#             Dm
You took away the sight to blind my simple eyes
  F    Dm    F     Dm
White man, White man
                 A# G
Where you gonna hide
                      Dm
From the hell you've made ?

Oh, the red man knows war
With his hands and his knives
On the Bible you swore
Fought your battle with lies
Oh yeah

Leave my body in shame
Leave my soul in disgrace
But by every God's name
Say your prayers for your race

Chorus

White man, white man (oh)
White man, white man
White man (ooh, white man)
Fought your battle with lies
White man
White man (on and on, on and on)
But we weren't too civilized, yeah
White man, white man (look around you)
Take a look around
Every skin and bone
(Yeah, I'll getcha, I'll getcha, yeah)

What is left of your dream?
Just the words on your stone
A man who learned how to teach
Then forgot how to learn
Oh yeah
