Verse 1:
DmDm
Well, a cop got away
DmDm
With murder today
Bb majorBb
Sparked the march
E MajorE A augmentedA
Of the fiery brigade
DmDm DmDm
How they screamed at the lenses, the lawyers and lights
Bb majorBb E MajorE A augmentedA
And they hurled all their curses with all of their might
Bb majorBb
And the news
A augmentedA
Said glad that it's over
Bb majorBb
The left-paper rags
E MajorE A augmentedA
Said there goes another
DmDm E MajorE G minorGm A augmentedA
And both sides left the signs with the stacked barricades
Bb majorBb A augmentedA DmDm DmDm Bb majorBb E MajorE A augmentedA
It'll wash it all away when it rains
Verse 2:
DmDm
Well, they came down from high rises
DmDm
Mansions, estates
Bb majorBb
Downtown into a city
E MajorE A augmentedA
Of catered champagne
DmDm
And they laughed and they danced
DmDm
And they dined on their steaks
Bb majorBb
There were floors to be swept
E MajorE A augmentedA
And bills to be paid
Bb majorBb
And the mayor
A augmentedA
Said glad you came over
G minorGm
And now what to do
Bb majorBb A augmentedA
With these jailed wild rovers?
DmDm E MajorE G minorGm A augmentedA
All the courts, and confetti, and dumpsters in flames
Bb majorBb A augmentedA DmDm
It'll wash it all away when it rains

Verse 3:
DmDm
There's a man on the bridge
DmDm
Old rust and new paint
Bb majorBb
While the marching machine's
E MajorE A augmentedA
Spilling sand by the bay
DmDm
Pump's busted again
DmDm
For the rivers and trains
Bb majorBb
While the choirs all preach
E MajorE A augmentedA
'Bout an earth to be saved
Bb majorBb
Don't you know
A augmentedA
There's no need to worry
G minorGm
Of the old tale
Bb majorBb A augmentedA
With a beautiful ending
DmDm
All the shells
E MajorE
And the smoke
G minorGm DmDm
And the hallowed ground paved
DmDm
And the scraps
E MajorE
And the crumbs
G minorGm A augmentedA
And the mess that we made
DmDm E MajorE G minorGm A augmentedA
And I wish that it all would just go away
Bb majorBb A augmentedA
It'll wash it all away
A7A7 DmDm
When it rains
