[Intro]
Em, G, C/G, C/B, Am, C/G, C/B, Am, Em
[Verse]
Em G
That drunk on the street
C/G C/B Am
Passed out in a ball at your feet
C/G C/B Am
Did you know he's got a song to sing
Em
And he plays a mean guitar
Em G
That whore on the corner
C/G C/B Am
Barely sixteen soon to be a mother
C/G C/B Am
While raising her two younger brothers
Em
Leaning on a long black car
[Chorus]
C/G
The pearl in the rubble
G
A rainbow from a puddle
Am
A calm in the storm
Em Em/F# G
Every rose has it's thorns
C/G
A touch of sun in the rain
G
Beauty of a different shade
Am D7 Em
Bless the hands that made everyone of them
[Verse]
Em G
A junky kid in his car
C/G C/B Am
Drilling holes with a needle in his arm
C/G C/B Am
Bet you he didn't know he's a star
Em
Just hit the game winning run
Em G
Prisoner one-two-five-o
C/G C/B Am
Picking up trash on the side of the road
C/G C/B Am
Yeah he's carrying a heavy load
Em
Took the blame so his brother could run
[Chorus]
C/G
The pearl in the rubble
G
A rainbow from a puddle
Am
A calm in the storm
Em Em/F# G
Every rose has it's thorns
C/G
A touch of sun in the rain
G
Beauty of a different shade
Am D7 Em
Bless the hands that made everyone of them
[Solo]
Em G
That's somebody's darling
C/G C/B Am
An angel who seems to have fallen
C/G C/B Am
Slowly but surely crawling
Em
To the edge of the Brooklyn bridge
[Verse]
Em G
A dirty cop on the beat
C/G C/B Am
More than a few bad reps on his sheet
C/G C/B Am
But he just so happens to be the one
Em
To keep her from falling in
[Chorus]
C/G
The pearl in the rubble
G
A rainbow from a puddle
Am
A calm in the storm
Em Em/F# G
Every rose has it's thorns
C/G
A touch of sun in the rain
G
Beauty of a different shade
Am D7 Em
Bless the hands that made everyone of them
