[Verse]
         C
It isn't nice to block the doorway
         G
It isn't nice to go to jail
          C
There are nicer ways to do it
        G
But the nice ways always fail
         C     Em       Am
It isn't nice, it isn't nice
            Dm                G
You told us once, you told us twice
       C       F         C
But if that is Freedom's price
G        C F C
We don't mind
 
[Verse]
G        C
It isn't nice to carry banners
      G
Or to sit in on the floor
      C
Or to shout our cry of Freedom
       G
At the hotel and the store
         C     Em       Am
It isn't nice, it isn't nice
            Dm                G
You told us once, you told us twice
       C       F         C
But if that is Freedom's price
G        C F C
We don't mind
 
[Verse]
G       C
We have tried negotiations
        G
And the three-man picket line
    C
Mr. Charlie didn't see us
       G
And he might as well be blind
        C        Em     Am
Now our new ways aren't nice
        Dm               G
When we deal with men of ice
       C       F         C
But if that is Freedom's price
G        C F C
We don't mind
 
[Verse]
G     C
How about those years of lynchings
        G
And the shot in Evers' back?
        C
Did you say it wasn't proper
        G
Did you stand upon the track?
         C     Em        Am
You were quiet just like mice
        Dm            G
Now you say we aren't nice
       C       F         C
And if that is Freedom's price
G        C F C
We don't mind
 
[Verse]
G        C
It isn't nice to block the doorway
         G
It isn't nice to go to jail
          C
There are nicer ways to do it
        G
But the nice ways always fail
         C     Em       Am
It isn't nice, it isn't nice
    Dm                G
But thanks for your advice
         C       F         C
Cause if that is Freedom's price
G        C     F        C
We don't mind, we don't mind
