[Verse 1]
 
[G#]
She went away for the holidays
[Fm]
Said she's going to L.A.
[A#m]
But she never got there, she never got there
[D#]
She never got there, they say
 
[G#]
She went away ...
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
[G#]
The KKK took my baby away
[C#]                  [D#]
They took her away, away from me
 
[G#]
The KKK took my baby away ...
 
 
[G#]
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
[G#]
Now I don't know where my baby can be
[C#]                     [D#]
They took her from me, they took her from me
 
[G#]
I don't know where my baby can be ...
 
 
[Bridge]
[C#]                               [D#]
Ring me, ring me, ring me up the president
And find out where my baby went
[C#]
Ring me, ring me, ring me up the FBI
[A#]                    [D#]
And find out if my baby's alive, yeah, yeah, yeah

[G#]
[C#]       [D#]
