Intro:
A E C A Dm
A E C A Dm


Verse 1:
A   E        C         A
 Tourists on boat down Broadway
Dm
Cumberland keeps claiming bodies
A    E        C        A           Dm
 All our best memories were bought and then turned into apartments
A    E         C       A        Dm
 The club with all the hardcore shows now just a grayscale Domino's
A    E        C   A         Dm
 The churches overflow each Sunday, greedy Sunday morning

What lives on, Southern Gotham

A     E      C          A      Dm
 They put up chain-link fences underneath the biggest bridges

 They pose in Christmas cards with guns as big as all the children
A     E        C     A      Dm                                 A
 They say that Jesus is the way but then they gave him a white face
   E          C       A       Dm
So they don't have to pray to someone they deem lesser than them

  Strange fruit, hard bargain
Dm
  Till the roots, Southern Gotham
