[Intro 1]
[Em][C][Em][C]
[Em][C][Em][C]

[Verse 1]
My [Em]father
once told this to me
Boston's [C]gritty history
An[Em]other ruthless battle
in a use[C]less holy [D]war
Handed [Em]down discrepancies
and [C]tensions that'll never ease
One early [Em]afternoon on Broad street
It blew [C]up down there for sure

[Verse 2]
[G]Broad street's just not [D]broad enough
and [C]you just don't love God enough
[G]an d if that isn't [D]odd enough
We've [C]taken too much crap
You've [G]pushed us round
[D]the sod enough
We'e [C]scrapped and rapped
and jawed enough
[G]poked, provoked and [D]prod
enough
[C]Something's [D]gonna [C]snap
[Em][C][Em]

[Verse 3]
[C]
The Boston [Em]fire fighting volunteers
On their [C]way to fight a fire
somewhere
Met with a [Em]funeral procession
pro[C]ceeding way too slow
[D]A bro[Em]wnstone burns out of control
We [C]need to lay to rest this soul
[Em]Loggerheads on broadstreet
Eye to [C]eye and toe to toe

[Verse 4]
[G]Broad street's just not [D]broad enough
and [C]you just don't love God enough
[G]and if that isn't o[D]dd enough
We've [C]taken too much crap
You've [G]pushed us round
[D]the sod enough
We'e [C]scrapped and rapped
and jawed enough
[G]poked, provoked and [D]prod
enough
[Em]Something's [D]gonna [C]snap

[Verse 5]
[G]Riot [D]down on [Em]Broad stree[C]t
Hand me a [G]brick, a stick, a [D]picket
Bottle, [C]axe or cobble[D]stone
[G]Riot [D]down on [Em]Broad stree[C]t
And [G]if I'm going [D]down
Hell, I'm not [Em]going down alone
I [C]won't go down [Em]alone
[C][Em]

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

[Verse 6]
And [C]when [Em]the fight was over
[C]they retired to the Clover,
Sil[Em]ver Dollar, Thirsty Scollar
Whatever [C]pubs they had back then
[D]The Bro[Em]wnstone was in ashes
Broken [C]Bones and bloody gashes
and a [Em]casket sat on Broad street
'til the [C]sun came up again

[Verse 7]
[G]Broad street's just not[D] broad enough
[C]and you just don't love God enough
[G]and if that isn't[D] odd enough
We've [C]taken too much crap
You've pushed [G]us round
[D]the sod enough
[C]We'e scrapped and rapped
and jawed enough
[G]poked, provoked and[D] prod
enough
Something's gonna [C]snap
[G]Ri [D]ot down

[Verse 8]
on [Em]Broad [C]street
Hand me [G]a brick, a stick,[D] a picket
Bottle, axe [C]or [D]cobblestone
[G]Ri [D]ot down [Em]on Broad st[C]reet
And if [Em]I'm going down
Hell, I'm [C]not going down alone
[Em]And if I'm going down
Hell, I'm not go[C]ing down alone
And if [Em]I'm going down
Hell, I'm not going down alone

[Verse 9]
There's [Em]a[C][Em][C]
[Em]Riot down on b[C]road[Em]
[C]street (x 4)[Em]
