Intro: G Em A D D7 (x4) Verse: G It's a beautiful city Em We've been living in lately A Never go to the South side D D7 (Don't you go down to the South side.)
G And there's pot holes Em Sleeping in the black concrete A And your little rebel rebel's D D7 Just a pebble in a big stream G Yes, we're living underneath a Em World imperial empire A And it's built on the flimsy web of D D7 Your money and your desire G We built this city on the Em Ruins of rock and roll A One minute you're driving on smooth pavement D D7 Then you're down in a dark pot hole G And if there's black men sleeping on Em Your white concrete A You go and see a ten dollar movie D D7 Then you're caught in the web of the waking dream Intro: G Em A D D7 (x4) Break: G Em A D D7 (x4) Verse: G It's a beautiful city Em But the streets are full of holes A I spend my whole life on the North side D D7 (I don't go down to the South side.) G And I drive on the concrete Em And I pay my taxes too A And I could write a letter to the mayor D D7 But we both got a lot to do G And I admit it's inconvenient Em To get robbed in a combat zone A Well, shit, I had to cancel my credit card D D7 Had to buy me a brand new phone G But it's a beautiful city Em And the cops are on our side A I mosey down to check out the D D7 Angry mob just to keep myself occupied G And you can talk about Chicago Em You can talk about New York A You can talk about London, England D D7 You can have a nice day, take a walk in the park G But there's always at least two Em Different cities in your town A And if you can't look at the dark one D Then you'll spend your life living D7 Down in a dark pot hole Outro: G Em A D D7 (x8)
