Black and White

	  		       B        F#          B           F#    
 The ink is black, the page is white,    
    B              E          F#    
 together we learn to read and write.    
      B         F#          B         F#    
 A child is black, a child is white;    
        B               E            F#    
 the whole world looks upon the sight,    
                  B      E    B    
 a beautiful sight.   
    
 ÇBRIDGE: 
    
      F#                       B             
 And now a child can understand    
         F#   
 that this is the law of all the land,    
  F#       E    Eb    C#       
 all the land.   
    
VERSE: 
    
     B           F#      B        F#    
 The world is black, the world is white.    
     B          E               F#    
 It turns by day, and turns by night.    
       B        F#         B          F#    
 A child is black, a child is white,   
      B               E          F#    
 together they grow to see the light,   
              B    E    B    
 to see the light.   
    
BRIDGE: 
   
       F#                      B             
 And now, at last, we plainly see   
          F#   
 the alphabet of liberty,    
  F#      E    Eb    C#       
of liberty.
