STREETS OF PHILADELPHIA (Listen to midi)       (Listen to sample)

 

   C-e-C-e           C

1.               I was    bruised and battered, I couldn't tell what I felt,

             e

    I was     unrecognizable to myself.

                  C

    Saw my     reflection in a window and didn't know my own face.

                      e

    So brother,    are you gonna leave me wasting away

                                         F         - C - G       F - C - G

    on the streets of Philadelphia.

 

                         C

2. I walked  the avenue 'til my legs felt like stone,

                e

    I heard     voices of friends vanished and gone.

                   C

    At night I     hear the blood in my veins,

                   e

    just as  black and whispery as the rain

                                         F           - C - G    F - C - G

    on the streets of Philadelphia.

 

F                                       a         F                                       C

   Ain't no angel gonna greet me.     It's just you and I, my friend.

e                                   F                    

   and my clothes don't fit me no more,  

G

    I walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin.

 

  C                                                                   e  

3.   The night is falling, I'm lying awake, I can   feel myself fading away.

               C

    So receive me brother with your fateless kiss, or will we

e

    leave each other alone like this

                                        F           - C - G     F - C - G ....

    on thestreets of Philadelphia...
