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
