Pot Holes

G   Em   A   D D7
(x4)

       G
It's a beautiful city
           Em
We've been living in lately
      A
Never go to the South side
           D              D7
(Don't you go down to the South side.)
            G
And there's pot holes
                Em
Sleeping in the black concrete
         A
And your little rebel rebel's
       D           D7
Just a pebble in a big stream
           G
Yes, we're living underneath a
      Em
World imperial empire
         A
And it's built on the flimsy web of
     D              D7
Your money and your desire
   G
We built this city on the
Em
Ruins of rock and roll
                  A
One minute you're driving on smooth pavement
            D              D7
Then you're down in a dark pot hole
               G
And if there's black men sleeping on
     Em
Your white concrete
           A
You go and see a ten dollar movie
            D                        D7
Then you're caught in the web of the waking dream

       G
It's a beautiful city
        Em
But the streets are full of holes
           A
I spend my whole life on the North side
         D              D7
(I don't go down to the South side.)
      G
And I drive on the concrete
      Em
And I pay my taxes too
            A
And I could write a letter to the mayor
       D                 D7
But we both got a lot to do
        G
And I admit it's inconvenient
       Em
To get robbed in a combat zone
              A
Well, shit, I had to cancel my credit card
       D                  D7
Had to buy me a brand new phone
           G
But it's a beautiful city
        Em
And the cops are on our side
        A
I mosey down to check out the
                  D               D7
Angry mob just to keep myself occupied
            G
And you can talk about Chicago
        Em
You can talk about New York
        A
You can talk about London, England
        D                       D7
You can have a nice day, take a walk in the park
    G
But there's always at least two
          Em
Different cities in your town
           A
And if you can't look at the dark one
            D
Then you'll spend your life living
          D7
Down in a dark pot hole

G   Em   A   D D7
