Kickback City chords by Rory Gallagher

G  C  G C G

C  Am C

C
They say this town will kill you
C                                 G
They say this town ainït got no soul
C
This town could take a childïs smile
C                  G
And turn it into stone

F
But donït you think I know that
                               C   Am
This place has cut me to the bone
C                          G
Trouble crawling up your back
                     C     G  F  C  F  C
Fear just eats your soul

C
You say this town will eat you up
C                                G
You say this town ainït got no heart
C
You try to lear all your lines
C                    G
And try to play the part
F
With all this double dealing
                                 C  Am
I tell you brother, you get smart
C
Here in Kickback City
G                       C    G  F  C  G  F  C
Youïve lost before you start


C                                            G
People in subways look nearly half-dazed to me
C
Renting tomorrow Investing in sorrow
G
No belief

Solo (like Vers)

C                                               G
Faces in didestreets, hiding like angels from grace
C
Selling you sorrow
Renting tomorrow
G
Youïre out of place

C
They say this town will kill you
C                                 G
They say this town ainït got no soul
C
Theyïll set you up and pull the stitch
C                             G
Til youïre unravelled on the floor

F
But I wonït let it beat me
                                  C  Am
Though troubleïs knocking on my door
C
Somehow itïs just your smile
G                              C
That keeps me coming back for more

C                   G
Here in Kickback City
                     C
Feel Iïm goinï down slow
Here in Kickback City
Feel Iïm goinï down slow

C... F C... repeat
