Inner City Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
[D]Going down a
dirty inner city side road
I plot[G]ted
[D]Madness passed me by, she smiled hi
I nod[G]ded
[D]Looked up as the sky began to cry

[Verse 2]
She shot it
[D]Met a girl from Dearborn,
[G]early six o'clock this morn
A cold [D]fact
[G]Asked about her bag,
suburbia's such a drag
Won't go [D]back
'Cause [F]Papa don't allow
no [C]new [G]ideas [D]here
And [F]now he sees the news,
but the pic[C]ture's [G]not too clear
[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]Mama, Papa, stop
Treasure what you got
Soon you may be caught
[D]Without it
[G]The curfew's set for eight
Will it ever all be straight
I [D]doubt it

[Interlude 1]
[D]

[Verse 4]
7 jealous fools playing [G]by her rules
Can't believe [D]her
He [G]feels so in between,
can't break the scene
It would grieve [D]her
And that's the reason
why he must [A]cry
He'll never leave [D]her

[Verse 5]
[D]Crooked children, yellow chalk
[G]Writing on the concrete walk
Their King [D]died
Drink[G]ing from a Judas cup
Looking down but seeing up
Sweet red [D]wine
'Cause [F]Papa don't allow
no [C]new [G]ideas [D]here
And [F]now you hear the music
But the [C]words don't [G]sound too clear
[D]

[Verse 6]
[G]Mama, Papa, stop
Treasure what you got
Soon you may be caught
[D]Without it
[G]The curfew's set for eight
Will it ever all be straight
I [D]doubt it

[Verse 7]
[D]Going down a dusty, Georgian side road
I won[G]der
The [D]wind splashed in my face
Can smell [A]a trace
Of thun[D]der

[Outro 1]
[D]
