Verse: C G F I grew up on the sly Em Am F In the gutters and the streets of Petersburg C G F Just a kid on the fly Em C Getting good at getting by A# In Petersburg Verse: A I've bartered for a blanket D Stolen for my bread F#m Learned to take my chances A D And use my head A A Russian rat is clever C#m F#m B Clever or he ends up dead
Chorus: N.C Boils down to D There are some C#m Who survive, some who don’t Bm Some give up F#m Some give in, me, I won’t E Black and blue D Welcome to My Petersburg Instrumental: A D C F Verse: C F Standing here you can see Em Am A# From the spires to the piers of Petersburg C F I'd be down on that quay Em Am A# Selling stolen souvenirs of Petersburg Verse: A The palaces above D And alleyways below F#m Funny when a city D Is all you know A How even when you hate it C#m F#m B Something in you loves it so Chorus: D That's where I learned my stuff C#m In some rough company Bm F#m There's a boy growing up, who was me E D All I've been E All I'll be Bridge: D# We can do what we're told Dm We can go where we're lead Gm Cm F But I learned from my father to see what's ahead C Nothing here to hold me G No one that I owe C G Funny how a boy can grow D A B Funny how a city tells you when it's time to go Chorus: N.C. Boils down to D There are some C#m Who have walls yet to climb Bm You and I F#m On the fly, just in time Bm But tonight D There’s a sky C#m F# And quite a view Bm C#m A D E Welcome to A D A
