Fountain Avenue Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Hammond- Hazelwood
A witness, a call, the [D]Fire Department,
[Em]the Sheriff and a half dozen cars
[G]Talk back on the radios, [D]flashing amber lights and [Em]sirens,

[Verse 2]
on Fountain avenue
[C]
On [D]Fountain [Em]avenue

[Verse 3]
[G]Swearing and wondering,
[D]the Schaefer ambulance [Em]screaming against the evening sky
Ped[G]estrians teeming from apart[Em]ment blocks,
a [D]lady asks "What happened? Who's [Em]to blame?
[G]Those motorbikes and their [Em]riders,
you kid[C]s are all the same."

[Interlude 1]
[Em][G][Em][C][Em]

[Verse 4]
A [G]car with a twisted [D]grill, ooh,
a [Em]bike thrown on [B]its side
A [G]loaded driver suf[Em]fers shock,
and a [C]boy has [Em]quietly died

[Interlude 2]
[G][Em][C][Em]

[Verse 5]
And they [G]put him in the Schae[D]fer,
and [Em]the Schaefer pulls [B]away
And an[G]other loaded [Em]driver [C]wishes he
hadn't gone out today
[Em]

[Verse 6]
[C]
On [D]Fountain [Em]avenue

[Outro 1]
[Em]
