East Los Angeles chords by We Are Augustines

Capo 4
Standard Tuning

C  E  Fmaj7/C  Dm x4

C                  E
The crowd began to wave
         Fmaj7/C Dm
From the freeway overpass
C               E
We joined the parade
Fmaj7/C          Dm
right behind the marching band
C
And You said
E                 Fmaj7/C            Dm
"Wave back, cause these are the best days of your life."
C

And I said
E                Fmaj7/C         Dm
"I know, I can't feel anything"

    G   G         Am
And up, up on the Ferris wheel
C         G        G       Am
I can see L.A. and all the freeways
C              G
I can see your face
Am
so close to me
C                 G
And I can dream my dreams

And light the night
Am              Fmaj7/C
like a drive in movie screen
(ya know....)

C E Fmaj7/C Dm x2

     C          E
On a hot summer day
   Fmaj7/C        Dm
We laughed in the Polaroid
C               E
Counted all the ways,
   Fmaj7/C            Dm
To slow down our time machine
C         E       Fmaj7/C
And in my mind all I could
          Dm
think was that love is war
C       E                  Fmaj7/C        Dm
And you know I'd surrender anything

    G   G         Am
And up, up on the Ferris wheel
C         G        G       Am
I can see L.A. and all the freeways
C              G
I can see your face
Am
so close to me
C                 G
And I can dream my dreams

And light the night
Am              Fmaj7/C
like a drive in movie screen

E                         Fmaj7/C     Dm
Oh no, I don't want to be another

scar on a bar stool
in East Los Angeles.

C E Fmaj7/C Dm x4
