Words and Music
by Raccoon
as recorded on Loose In The City
The
chord progression to this song is:
·
D, D7, G, A
D D7
Deep
in the heart of the city where you gotta fight to live each day
G A
I
saw an old friend of mine bow to his knees and pray
D
D7
Along
came the red-eyed policeman - Sadly he did say,
G A
“There’s
nothing here in the law books that says that you can’t stay right here”
D D7
And
people gathered around him to see if he was well
G A
I'm
not the only one who heard him slam the gates to hell
D D7
From
a whisper to a tremble - From a tremble to a roar
G
A
Do
you think we finally found the keys to heaven’s door?
D D7
From
a whisper to a tremble - From a tremble to a roar
G A
Could
you imagine if we had ten million more?
(break)
D D7
Well,
up in the sky you can see the thirteenth tribe
G A
Flyin'
hand in hand with a new law for the land
D D7
Up
in the sky you can see the thirteenth tribe
G A
Flyin'
hand in hand with a new law for the land
D D7
Out
on the skyline I see a wave
G
A
I
can’t turn my head and run - I’ve got to be brave
D D7
Cuz
I have the key and I hold the key
G A
Ain’t
no way that you can take it from me
D D7
Out
on the highway I know my role
G
Hangin'
on to an old street light
A
And
makin' half-dreams whole
D D7
I’ve
had the dreams - I hold them true
G A
Sitting
here tryin' to figure out the next thing I should do
D D7
I’ve
had the dreams and I’ve seen the unseen
G A
I’ve
got so much power that I’m busting at the seams
