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
