Inner City Blues chords

Capo on 2nd fret

[E7] xxxx [A7] xxxx

[E7] Goingx down a dirty inner city side road
I [A7] plottedx
[E7] Madnessx passed me by, she smiled hi
I [A7] noddedx
[E7] Lookedx up as the sky [B7] beganx to cry
[E7]Shex shot it

[E7]Metx a girl from Dearborn, [A7] earlyx six o'clock this morn
A cold fa[E7]ctxx
[A7]Askedx about her bag, suburbia's such a drag
[E7]Won'tx go back

[G]'Cosx Papa don't allow [D] nox new [A] ideasx [E] herex
[G] Andx now he sees the news, but the [D] picture'sx [A] notx too [E] clear.x

[A] Mama,x Papa, stop, Treasure what you got, Soon you may be caught
[E7]Withoutx it
[A]Thex curfew's set for eight, Will it ever all be straight
[E7]Ixxx doubt it

[E7]Sevenx jealous fools playing by her rules
Can't b[A7]elievex her
[E7]Hexx feels so in between, can't break the scene
It would grieve h[A7]erxx
[E7]Andx that's the reason why [B7] hexx must cry
[E7]He'llx never leave her

[E7]Crookedx children, yellow chalk, [A7] writingx on the concrete walk
[E7]Theirx king died
[A7]Drinkingx from a Judas cup , looking down but seeing up
[E7]Won'tx go back

[G]'Cosx Papa don't allow [D] nox new [A] ideasx [E] herex
[G] Andx now hear the music, but the [D] wordsx don't [A] soundx too [E] clear.x

[A] Mama,x Papa, stop, Treasure what you got, Soon you may be caught
[E7]Withoutx it
[A]Thex curfew's set for eight, Will it ever all be straight
[E7]Ixxx doubt it

[E7]Goingx down a dusty, Georgian side road
I wond[A7]erxx
[E7]Thex wind splashed in my face, [B7] canx smell a trace
Of thund[E7]erxx
