Intro: G Em G Em
G D Em D
1.
G
Cops and junkies hurl their sophistries
D
And hail cacophony
Em
Try not hard to shake this off of me
D
Howl you fools, it's all for naught
2.
G
But on 16th street we wait for holiness
D
Vaccinate ourselves from loneliness
Em
Masquerade through homes of homelessness
D
And oh, I hope we'll not get over this
Bridge: G D Em D
Refrain:
G Bm
Here the now is now upon us
A D
Everyone must share this on us
G Bm
Ancients have no more to loan us
A D
All our debts unpaid
G Bm
On 16th street we rise in numbers
A D
Once a name now just a number
G Bm
Scream for all the unsaid, unheard
A D
prisoners on parade
Bridge: G Bm A D 2x
3.
G
Sweet Dolores, mi mamasita
D
Seems each day I still re-meet you
Em
Disculpame mi pobrecita
D
Guess I left things incomplete
4.
G
But all this noise will soon be over
D
So let's drink until you're halfway sober
Em
Red rover's already over
D
But the last thing that we need is closure
Bridge: G D Em D
Refrain:
G Bm
Now it's time for us to swallow
A D
all this loss until tomorrow
G Bm
Pay back all the time we've borrowed
A D
Anger well displayed
G Bm
On 16th street we fall in numbers
A D
No one questions, no one wonders
G Bm
Scream for all the unsaid, unheard
A D
hoodlums on parade
