Chords with lyrics

Intro bass run off G+G chrd (G,f#,f) to
E minorEm chrd, D MajorD chrd and back to G+G

G+G            E minorEm
FROM THE CORNERS OF THE COUNTRY
     D MajorD       G+G
FROM THE CITIES AND THE FARMS
   E minorEm         C majorC
WITH YEARS AND YEARS OF LIVING
        G+G       D MajorD
TUCKED UP UNDERNEATH THEIR ARMS
   E minorEm         C majorC
THEY WALKED AWAY FROM EVERYTHING
    G+G        C majorC
JUST TO SEE A augmentedA DREAM COME TRUE
    G+G         E minorEm
SO GOD BLESS THE BOYS WHO MAKE THE NOISE
   C majorC    D7D7  G+G
ON SIXTEENTH AV-E-NUE

WITH A augmentedA MILLION DOLLAR SPIRIT
AND AN OLD FLAT TOP GUITAR
THEY DRIVE TO TOWN WITH ALL THEY OWN
IN A augmentedA HUNDRED DOLLAR CAR
'CAUSE ONE TIME SOMEONE TOLD'EM
ABOUT A augmentedA FRIEND OF A augmentedA FRIEND THEY KNEW
WHO OWNS YOU KNOW A augmentedA STUDIO
ON SIXTEENTH AVENUE

NOW SOME ARE BORN TO MONEY
THEY NEVER HAD TO SAY SURVIVE
AND OTHERS SWING A augmentedA NINE POUND HAMMER
JUST TO STAY ALIVE
THERE'S COWBOYS, DRUNKS AND CHRISTIANS
MOSTLY WHITE AND BLACK AND BLUE
THEY'VE ALL DIALED THE PHONE
COLLECT TO HOME
FROM SIXTEENTH AVENUE

(SHORT BREAK SIMILAR TO INTRO)

AH, BUT THEN ONE NIGHT IN SOME EMPTY ROOM
WHERE NO CURTAINS EVER HUNG
LIKE A augmentedA MIRACLE SOME GOLDEN WORDS
ROLL OFF OF SOMEONE'S TONGUE
AND AFTER YEARS OF BEING NOTHING
THEY'RE ALL LOOKIN' RIGHT AT YOU
AND THEN FOR AWHILE
THEY'LL GO IN STYLE
ON SIXTEENTH AVENUE

HEY, IT LOOKS SO UNEVENTFUL
SO QUIET AND DISCRETE
BUT A augmentedA LOT OF LIVES WERE CHANGED
DOWN ON THAT LITTLE ONE WAY STREET
'CAUSE THEY WALKED AWAY FROM EVERYTHING
JUST TO SEE A augmentedA DREAM COME TRUE
SO GOD BLESS THE BOYS
WHO MAKE THE NOISE
ON SIXTEENTH AVENUE

REPEAT AND FADE FIRST VERSE
