Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][D][G][G]

[Verse 1]
From the [G]corners of the country
From the [D]cities and the [G]farms
With [Em]years and years of [C]living
Tucked [G]up underneath their [D]arms
[Em]They walk away from ever[C]ything
Just to [G]see a dream come [C]true
So God [G]bless the [D]boys
who [Em]make the [D]noise
On [C]16th [D]Ave[G]nue

[Verse 2]
With a [G]million dollar spirit
And an [D]old flattop [G]guitar
They [Em]drive to town with [C]all they own
In [G]a hundred dollar c[D]ar
'Cause [Em]one time someone [C]told them
About a [G]friend of a friend they [C]knew
Who [G]owns, you [D]know, [Em]a studio[D]
On [C]16th [D]Ave[G]nue

[Verse 3]
Now [G]some were born to money
They've never [D]had to say "Sur[G]vive"
And [Em]others swing a [C]9 pound hammer
[G]Just to stay aliv[D]e
There's [Em]cowboys drunks and [C]Christians
Mostly [G]white and black and [C]blue
They've all [G]dialed the [D]phone
col[Em]lect to [D]home
From [C]16th [D]Ave[G]nue
[G][D]

[Interlude 1]
[Em]
[D][G][G]

[Verse 4]
Ah, but [G]then one night in some empty room
Where no [D]curtains ever [G]hung
Like a [Em]miracle some [C]golden words
[G]Rolled off of someone's [D]tongue
And after [Em]years of being [C]no thing
They're all [G]looking right at [C]you
And then, [G]for a [D]while they'll [Em]go in st[D]yle
On [C]16th [D]Ave[G]nue

[Verse 5]
It [G]looked so uneventful
So [D]quiet and [G]discreet
But a [Em]lot of lives where c[C]hanged
Down on [G]that little one way [D]street
'Cause they [Em]walk away from [C]everything
Just to [G]see a dream come [C]true
So God [G]bless the [D]boys who [Em]make the [D]noise
On [C]16th [D]Ave[G]nue
[G][D]

[Interlude 2]
[Em]
[D][G][G]

[Verse 6]
From the [G]corners of the country
From the [D]cities and the [G]farms
With [Em]years and years of [C]living
Tucked [G]up underneath their [D]arms
[Em]They walk away from ever[C]ything
[Fade out]
