Intro:
 C  Eb6 | Dbmaj7 :
  mmm mmm  mmm C  Eb6 | Dbmaj7 :
  mmm mmm  mmm

Verse 1:
C            Eb6
Tourists stumble down Broadway
Dbmaj7
Cumberland keeps claiming bodies
C            Eb6
All our best memories
            Dbmaj7
Were bought and then turned into apartments
C             Eb6              Dbmaj7
The club with all the hardcore shows
                         C
Now just a greyscale Domino's
             Eb6           Dbmaj7
The churches overflow each Sunday, greedy Sunday morning

Pre-Chorus:
C Eb6 Dbmaj7                      C Eb6 Dbmaj7
           Gift shop in the lobby
                            C Eb6 Dbmaj7
Act like God ain't watching
                            C Eb6 Dbmaj7
Kill the soul, turn a profit

What lives on? Southern Gotham

Chorus:
Ab                    Fm
I'm the one who still loves your ghost
    Cm
I reanimate your bones
        G/B     G
With my belief
Ab                    Fm
I'm the one who still loves your ghost
    Cm
I reanimate your bones
                 G/B        C Eb6 Dbmaj7
'Cause I'm a true believer

Verse 2:
C           Eb6               Dbmaj7
They put up chain-link fences underneath the biggest bridges
C            Eb6                  Dbmaj7
They pose in Christmas cards with guns as big as all their children
C             Eb6          Dbmaj7                              C
They say that Jesus is the way, but then they gave him a white face
              Eb6             Dbmaj7
So they don't have to pray to someone they deem lesser than them

Pre-Chorus:
C Eb6 Dbmaj7                            C Eb6 Dbmaj7
          The South will not rise again
                         C Eb6 Dbmaj7
'Til it's paid for every sin
                            C Eb6 Dbmaj7
Strange fruit, hard bargain
Till the roots, Southern Gotham

Chorus:
Ab                    Fm
I'm the one who still loves your ghost
    Cm
I reanimate your bones
        G/B     G
With my belief
Ab                    Fm
I'm the one who still loves your ghost
    Cm
I reanimate your bones
                 G/B
'Cause I'm a true believer
