Intro:
A augmentedA A majorA A augmentedA A majorA A augmentedA

A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE


Verse 1:
      A augmentedA
Caught the twelve thirty from Ashmont Station
D MajorD         E MajorE
32 ounces with the rum mixed in
A augmentedA
God knows I need it with the way I've been living
D MajorD        E MajorE
Self medicated, chemical salvation
A augmentedA
Afternoon show up at central station
D MajorD                E MajorE
When the music hits I don't feel no pain
A augmentedA                      D MajorD    E MajorE
Now I'm outside in the cold again trying to find my way

Chorus:
A5A5            D5D5   E5E5
The sun is setting in the combat zone
A5A5              D5D5    E5E5
The streets are empty all the bars are closed
A5A5
And I'm walking thru government center
D5D5                A5A5 E5E5 A5A5 D5D5
To some old clash on my headphones


Verse 2:
A augmentedA
Dodging the cops at the ATMs
   D MajorD           E MajorE
Three third hand suits and a record collection
   A augmentedA
From late night raids at the salvage bins
     D MajorD            E MajorE
Whatever god I pray to is broke as me
   A augmentedA
Got a busted 4 track and a dead end job
     D MajorD                 E MajorE
Up at the downs on Friday trying to make it pay off
 A augmentedA
On a twelve to one, but I got shut out
 D MajorD            E MajorE
Man I'd be late to my own f**kin' funeral
A augmentedA
Check the headlines passing out of town news
D MajorD                 E MajorE
Says the world is still f**ked and run by fools
   A augmentedA
And it don't seem to matter which drugs you use
  D MajorD          E MajorE
It still turns out the same

Chorus:
A5A5            D5D5   E5E5
The sun is setting in the combat zone
A5A5              D5D5    E5E5
The streets are empty all the bars are closed
A5A5
And I'm walking thru government center
D5D5              A5A5 E5E5 A5A5 D5D5
Junior record on my headphones


Verse 3:
A augmentedA                  D MajorD  E MajorE
This record spins the same old song
A augmentedA              D MajorD    E MajorE
The speaker's blown and the needle's worn
A augmentedA                D MajorD  E MajorE
Don't matter nothing in the end
A augmentedA
They say when you leave
D MajorD     E MajorE
You can never go home again


Solo:
A5A5 D5D5  E5E5
A5A5 D5D5  E5E5


Chorus:
A5A5            D5D5   E5E5
The sun is setting in the combat zone
A5A5              D5D5    E5E5
The streets are empty all the bars are closed
A5A5
And I'm walking through government center
D5D5
Mighty Sparrow on my head phones


Chorus:
A5A5            D5D5   E5E5
The sun is setting in the combat zone
A5A5              D5D5    E5E5
The streets are empty all the bars are closed
A5A5
And I'm walking through government center
D5D5
Wasted Potential on my head phones


Chorus/Outro:
A5A5            D5D5   E5E5
The sun is setting in the combat zone
A5A5              D5D5   E5E5
The streets are empty and I'm on my own
A5A5
And I'm walking through government center
D5D5               A5A5 E5E5 A5A5 D5D5 A5A5
Tryin' to make my way back home
