[Intro]
Dm F
Woman please be gone
G Bb A7
You've stayed here much too long
Dm F
Don't you wish that you could cry
G Bb A7
Don't you wish I would die
Dm F
Seamy seesaw kids
G Bb A7
Child women on the skids
Dm F
The dust will choke you blind
G Bb A7
The lust will choke your mind
[Chorus]
*Dm (all the way through)
I hit the floor one kick no more
The pig and hose have set me free
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree
Dm, F, G, Bb, A7 x2
[Chorus]
*Dm ( all the way through)
I hit the floor one kick no more
The pig and hose have set me free
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree
[Verse]
Dm F
The inner city birthed me
G Bb A7
The local pusher nursed me
Dm F
Cousins make it on the street
G Bb A7
They marry every trick they meet
Dm F
A dime a dollar, it's all the same
G Bb A7
When a man comes in to bust your game
Dm F
The turn key comes, his face a grin
G Bb A7
Locks the cell, I'm in again
[Chorus]
*Dm (all the way through)
I hit the floor one kick no more
The pig and hose have set me free
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree
(fade out)
*For the chorus I like to use Dm 557765 but 000231 works just the same.
Dm- 000231
F - 133211
G - 355433
Bb- 113331
A7- 002020
chorus *Dm - 557765
