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 someones baby cryin'
And when the kid grows up he's gonna
turn into a mean old guy
