Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 On the north side of town,

 where the cold winds always blow

 Peoples’ faces are hard to see,

no one that you know

 And on the south side of town

 the bad ones are carrying guns

 There all the screaming and swearing,

 they even got the cops on the run

 The city is full of lonely hearts

 And all the gutters are filled with broken parts

 We got to get away and make a brand new start

 We got to get away, before it falls apart

 You and me, you and me

 We can still make it, yeah we got to leave

 On the west side of town they say

 the streets are lined with gold

 But all those peoples’ tongues are turning

black from the lies they told

 On the east side of town you can

hear someone’s baby cryin'

 And when the kid grows up he's gonna

turn into a mean old guy
