Golden Gates chords by John Mellencamp

Verse:
G Em

Verse:
G             Em
Ain't no golden gates gonna swing open
Ain't no streets paved in natural pearl
C             G
Ain't no angel with a harp come singin'
C             G
Leastways not that I know in this world

Instrumental:
G Em

Verse:
G          Em
In these days of uncertain futures
Who knows what the masters might do
C              D
They got their big deals goin' on, goin' on
C              D
Got nothing to do with me and you

Chorus:
Am        D
If I could I'd get us a big suite
Am         D
Overlooking the Park
G         D
Only promises I know to be true
    C              D
Are the promises made from the heart
      C             D
Just the promises made from the heart

Instrumental:
G Em

Verse:
G              Em
I don't need to see the whole thing go down
I don't need to see another lonely man
C                D
I don't need to see a woman crying for the savior
C           D
Holding on to some moneyman's hand

{Chorus]
Am          D
Who can I call to make my reservations
Am             D
Forever thrown in the dark
G         D
Only promises I know to be true
    C              D
Are the promises made from the heart
      C             D
Just the promises made from the heart

Verse:
C           Am
I don't believe in the authorities
C                 Am
They ain't gonna take care of me and you
F        D
I don't have all the strength that I need
F            D
To live the way that I want to

Instrumental:
G D

Chorus:
G         D
Only promises I know to be true
    C              D
Are the promises made from the heart
      C             D
Just the promises made from the heart
