Verse:
G+G
It's a beautiful city
E minorEm
We've been living in lately
A augmentedA
Never go to the South side
D MajorD D7D7
(Don't you go down to the South side.)
G+G
And there's pot holes
E minorEm
Sleeping in the black concrete
A augmentedA
And your little rebel rebel's
D MajorD D7D7
Just a pebble in a big stream
G+G
Yes, we're living underneath a
E minorEm
World imperial empire
A augmentedA
And it's built on the flimsy web of
D MajorD D7D7
Your money and your desire
G+G
We built this city on the
E minorEm
Ruins of rock and roll
A augmentedA
One minute you're driving on smooth pavement
D MajorD D7D7
Then you're down in a dark pot hole
G+G
And if there's black men sleeping on
E minorEm
Your white concrete
A augmentedA
You go and see a ten dollar movie
D MajorD D7D7
Then you're caught in the web of the waking dream

Verse:
G+G
It's a beautiful city
E minorEm
But the streets are full of holes
A augmentedA
I spend my whole life on the North side
D MajorD D7D7
(I don't go down to the South side.)
G+G
And I drive on the concrete
E minorEm
And I pay my taxes too
A augmentedA
And I could write a letter to the mayor
D MajorD D7D7
But we both got a lot to do
G+G
And I admit it's inconvenient
E minorEm
To get robbed in a combat zone
A augmentedA
Well, shit, I had to cancel my credit card
D MajorD D7D7
Had to buy me a brand new phone
G+G
But it's a beautiful city
E minorEm
And the cops are on our side
A augmentedA
I mosey down to check out the
D MajorD D7D7
Angry mob just to keep myself occupied
G+G
And you can talk about Chicago
E minorEm
You can talk about New York
A augmentedA
You can talk about London, England
D MajorD D7D7
You can have a nice day, take a walk in the park
G+G
But there's always at least two
E minorEm
Different cities in your town
A augmentedA
And if you can't look at the dark one
D MajorD
Then you'll spend your life living
D7D7
Down in a dark pot hole
