[Verse 1]

G                         Am7    D7
“Goodnight”, I said to my little son,
G                     C       D7
so tired out when the day was done;
G                 C
then he said as I tucked him in:
G                   D7            G       G
“Tell me Daddy what color’s God’s skin?”

[Chorus]

G             G         E7/G#
What color is God’s skin?
Am7  D7       G
What color is God’s skin? I said it’s
G                               C
black, brown, it’s yellow, it's red, it is white;
G                           D7          G        G
ev’ry man’s the same in the good Lord’s sight.”

[Verse 2]

   G                     Am7     D7
He looked at me with his shinin' eyes,
G              C       D7
I knew I could tell no lies when he
G                       C
said "Daddy, why do the diff’rent races fight
G                        D7          G
if we’re the same in the good Lord’s sight?”

Am7  D7       G

G                               C

G                           D7          G        G#
ev’ry man’s the same in the good Lord’s sight.”

[Verse 3]

G#                      A#m7      D#7
Son, that’s part of our suffering past but the
G#                    C#          D#7
whole human family is learning at last that the
G#                     C#
thing we missed on the road we trod is
G#                               N.C.    N.C. E E E E E
walking as the daughters and the sons of God.”
