Mighty Mighty Bosstones ?" Riot On Broad Street

INTRO: E minorEm C majorC X4

VERSE 1:
  E minorEm              C majorC
My father once told this to me, Boston's gritty history
 E minorEm             C majorC
Another ruthless battle in a useless holy war
E minorEm              C majorC
Handed down discrepancies and tensions that'll never ease
     E minorEm              C majorC
One early afternoon on broad street, it blew up down there for sure
G+G            D MajorD        C majorC
Broad street's just not broad enough and you just don't love God enough
  G+G       D MajorD        C majorC
And if that isn't odd enough we've taken too much crap
    G+G          D MajorD         C majorC
You've pushed us round the sod enough, we've scrapped and rapped and jawed enough
G+G          D MajorD      C majorC
Poked, provoked and prod enough, something's gonna snap

BREAK: E minorEm C majorC X2

VERSE 2:
      E minorEm                 C majorC
The Boston fire fighting volunteers, on their way to fight a fire somewhere
   E minorEm          C majorC
Met a funeral procession proceeding way too slow
 E minorEm                 C majorC
A augmentedA brownstone burns out of control, we need to lay to rest this soul
E minorEm                 C majorC
Loggerheads on broad street, eye to eye and toe to toe
G+G            D MajorD        C majorC
Broad street's just not broad enough and you just don't love God enough
  G+G       D MajorD        C majorC
And if that isn't odd enough we've taken too much crap
    G+G          D MajorD         C majorC
You've pushed us round the sod enough, we've scrapped and rapped and jawed enough
G+G          D MajorD      C majorC
Poked, provoked and prod enough, something's gonna snap

CHORUS:
G+G D MajorD     E minorEm  C majorC         G+G        D MajorD        C majorC      D MajorD
Riot down on broad street, hand me a brick, stick, a picket, bottle, axe or cobblestone
G+G D MajorD     E minorEm  C majorC      G+G      D MajorD          E minorEm         C majorC
Riot down on broad street, and if I'm going down, hell, I'm not going down alone, I won't go down alone

BREAK: E minorEm C majorC X4

VERSE 3:
  E minorEm               C majorC
And when the fight was over they retired to the Clover
    E minorEm                C majorC
Silver Dollar, Thirsty Scholar, whatever pubs they had back then
 E minorEm               C majorC
A augmentedA brownstone was in ashes, broken bones and bloody gashes
   E minorEm                   C majorC
And a casket sat on broad street 'til the sun came up again
G+G            D MajorD        C majorC
Broad street's just not broad enough and you just don't love God enough
  G+G       D MajorD        C majorC
And if that isn't odd enough we've taken too much crap
    G+G          D MajorD         C majorC
You've pushed us round the sod enough, we've scrapped and rapped and jawed enough
G+G          D MajorD      C majorC
Poked, provoked and prod enough, something's gonna snap

CHORUS/ENDING:
G+G D MajorD     E minorEm  C majorC         G+G        D MajorD        C majorC      D MajorD
Riot down on broad street, hand me a brick, stick, a picket, bottle, axe or cobblestone
G+G D MajorD     E minorEm                         C majorC
Riot down on broad street, and if I'm going down, hell, I'm not going down alone
    E minorEm              C majorC
And if I'm going down, hell, I'm not going down alone
    E minorEm              C majorC
And if I'm going down, hell, I'm not going down alone
     E minorEm      C majorC            E minorEm      C majorC
There's a Riot down on broad street, there's a Riot down on broad street
     E minorEm      C majorC            E minorEm      C majorC
There's a Riot down on broad street, there's a Riot down on broad street
