STREETS OF PHILADELPHIA

Key: F

-4 -4   -7    -6  -6    6
I was bruised and bat-tered
6   -4   -4  -7   -6  6  6
I could-n't tell what I felt
5 -4  -7 -6 -6  -6  6  6  -7 -6  6
I was un-re-cog-niz-a-ble to my-self
-4  -4 -4  -7   -6  -6-6 -6   6
Saw my re-flec-tion in a win-dow
6    -4  -4  -7  -7 -6    6
and did-n't know my own face

-4  -4   -4 -4  -4  -7  -6    
Oh broth-er are you gon-na 
-6    6   -7  -6 -6  6
leave me wast-in’ a-way
-4 -4     6    6   -6 -6 -6   6  6
On the streets of Phil-a-del-phi-a


I walked the av-e-nue 
till my legs felt like stone
I heard the voic-es of friends 
Van-ished and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
Just as black and whis-per-ing as the rain
On the streets of Philadelphia

8      8  8 -8  -7  -6  -8  -8-76-6-7
Ain't no an-gel gon-na greet  me
6      6   8   6  6  6  6-6-7
It's just you and I my friend
6   6     -8    -7   -6  6  6  65-4
And my clothes don't fit me no more
-4  -4   6  -7   -6   -6
I walked a thou-sand miles 
-6    6  -7   -6  -66-5
just to slip this skin


The night has fal-len, I'm ly-in' a-wake
I can feel my-self fad-ing a-way
So re-ceive me broth-er 
with your faith-less kiss
Or will we leave each oth-er a-lone like this
On the streets of Phil-a-del-phi-a
