Equality Street

Intro: Am Am G D (2x) 


Am                      G        D 
   Let me take you down equality street 
Am                    G          D 
   You never know the people you meet 
          Am                     G      D 
   At the end of the street is a golden gate 
      Am                   G      D 
   It let in love it don't let in hate, no! 



Instrumental: Am Am G D (4x) 

 
Am                   G        D 
   Walk with me down equality street 
   Am                   G        D 
   Do one to others and laugh it sweet 
   Am                        G          D 
   Books have no covers just look right in 
          Am                           G              D 
   You're judged by your words not the colour of your skin 
    
   Am            G             D 
   Deyo, deyo, deyo, messay, deyo 

   Am                                  G                 D 
   Biddily, biddily, biddily, biddily, biddily, biddily, bong, yo! 


Instrumental: Am Am G D 

Verse:
 
Am Am   G   D             Am 
        Yo, I'm like John Lennon 
               G                 D 
   Except I do imagine there's a heaven 
             Am                         G             D 
   Somewhere everyone is welcome all my multicultural brethren 
         Am                  G    D          Am 
   Where hate is outdated, today, love's the word 
                        G    D 
   Even for people from Luxembourg 
      Am                              G                D 
   Or maybe like some other countries that you might ignore, Tonga 
Am                        G      D    
   Never thought of in my life before 
            Am                           G           D 
   But if I met a guy from Tonga then we stop and we speak 
      Am                   G       D 
   In fluent Tongalese on equality street, yep 
     Am                 G               D 
   Acceptance, see that Kenyan guy with mental eyes 
Am                     G                D 
   He might be totally normal you can't genralise 
   Am                     G      D             Am 
   Black people aren't crazy fat people aren't lazy 
       G              D 
   And dwarfes aren't babies 
       Am                    G         D 
   You can't just pick 'em up they got rights 
       Am                      G                 D 
   And anyway don't assume you could they're not light 
   Am                    G             D 
   I learnt the hard way, don't give a damn 
             Am                              G            D 
   If you're Russian or you're Spanish we're comrades, compadres 
   Am                      G            D 
   You could be a half gay woman with a dark face 
   Am                G                 D 
   One leg, no legs, long as you got a heart, hey 
   Am                       G       D 
   Transgender, gay, straight, lesbians 
   Am                   G             D 
   Whatever whoever hey mate let's be friends 
       Am                       G               D        Am 
   But just friends want you to be where you're properly free 
                  G        D     
   Obviously yes equality street believe 
Am 
   You know the deal 
        G             D 
   That everything is real fair 
   Am                       G          D 
   Take a ride on my equal opportunity wheelchair, yeah 

Chorus: 
Am                   G        D 
   Come with me down equality street 
Am                    G          D 
   You never know the people you meet 
          Am                     G      D 
   At the end of the street is a golden gate 
      Am                   G      D 
   It let in love it don't let in hate, no 
Am  G       D
