F#m E F#m A | x2
F#m A
Me and Javier shouted slogans in Spanish
E F#m
Like it was our world to win
A
Then they move a plant down Ojada
E F#m
Time to bite your tongue again
Chorus:
D F#m
I've seen the fabled city
E F#m
It's streets are paved with gold
D F#m
But an iron fence round it
A A/G# F#m
It's iron gate is closed
F#m |
F#m E F#m A | x2
F#m A
What ain't right ain't right he told me
E F#m
But something else passed behind his eyes
F#m A
No he's downtown on his knees washing floors for somebody
E F#m
And quietly biding his time
Chorus:
D F#m
I've seen the fabled city
E F#m
It's streets are paved with gold
D F#m
But an iron fence round it
E C#
It's iron gate is closed Hey

F#m
F#m E F#m A
F#m A
The gas station on Sunset and Crescent
E F#m
I met an angel sad and old
A
She lived in the alley behind the market
E F#m
In the shadows may be hidden from the lord
D F#m
And for a dime she sang a song
E F#m
Sounded more like a prayer
D F#m
A wish that her dead mother and father
E F#m
Couldn't look down and see her there
Chorus:
D F#m
I've seen the fabled city
E F#m
It's streets are paved with gold
D F#m
But an iron fence round it
A A/G# F#m
It's iron gate is closed
F#m |
F#m E F#m A | x2
D F#m
On a wire outside my window
E F#m
There sit one hundred swallows
D F#m
And I suspect that if one flew
A F#m
Then ninety nine would follow
