Intro: Dm, F,  G,  Bb, A   -   Dm (continue)
          (1) (2) (3) (   4   )

Dm                         F
  Woman please be gone
              G               Bb           A
You've stayed here much too long
Dm                     F
   Don't you wish that you could cry
G                    Bb           A
Don't you wish I would die

Dm                        F
   Seamy, seesaw kids
G                  Bb        A
Childwoman on the skids
         Dm                        F
The dust will choke you blind
        G          Bb             A
The lust will choke your mind

CHORUS:

Dm (1 chord for chorus)
    I kiss 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
    The inner city birthed me
G                         Bb     A
The local pusher nursed me
Dm                      F
   Cousins make it in the street
G                   Bb          A
Marry every trick they meet
     Dm                          F
A dime a dollar they're all the same
             G                        Bb          A
When a man comes in to bust your game
         Dm                        F
The Turn key comes his face a grin
G                        Bb   A
Locks the cell I'm in again

CHORUS:
