  You know my little brother, babe

  Well, he works out at the diamond mine 
F 
  I drove him out there at five this mornin' 
Am 
  The niggers was waitin' in a big long line 
Fadd#11 
  You know those big old lunch pails they carry, man 
      Am 
With a picture of Star Wars painted on the side 
         Fadd#11 
They were starin' at us real hard with their big ugly yellow eyes
