The Streets Of America Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Rythm 1: (2x)

E5 C5

(w/ rythm 1)

Desolate and without purpose

Radiating from so many septic sources

Forming the fabric of a wayward people

Disappearing as the vestiges of our past

Scratched like tartan into virgin soil

A substrate for progress and disarray

A spreading network of broken dreams

Searching for a thoroughfare to take us away

(chorus rythm)

E5Jus[F5#]t a G5litD5tleA5 tale from the streets of America

E5Spa[F5#]rkleG5d pD5romA5ises paved with pathos and hysteria

E5TreG5nchD5ant, weary native sons

E5Ste[F5#]p baG5ck,A5 stD5ep back and see the damage done

C5MeaG5ndeD5r tC5o tD5he horizon, the streets of America

(w/ rythm 1 but w/o the Intro and palm-muted)

Black, tarred concrete, pine for me

Lying dormant for you and your country

Hardened surface cracked within

Catch the sweat from off of the chin

Of men and women, senior and child

Who look to you and your sterile miles

And in there stares is bald dismay

For what you promised led them astray

(w/ chorus rythm)

Just a little tale from the streets of America

Sparkled promises paved with pathos and hysteria

Trenchant, weary native sons

Step back, step back and see the damage done

Meander to the horizon, the streets of America

C5HarG5d-cD5racE5ked, daunting, lifeless veins

C5FalG5se D5hopC5e cD5orrE5idors to greener pastures is all that remains

That's it, enjoy it.
