Key: F
Introduction:
F#m7
In the streets of New York City
B9
every man can feel the cold,
F#m7
and I don't want no pity,
B9
but I want my story told.
F#m7
And the lights shine down on me,
B9
they shine on the little boy,
F#m7
is this way to make him pay
B9
being born in a world of joy?
A A7+
But like me, he don't know where he'll go wrong,
Bm7
he won't cry so many tears
Dm
till he finds out why he don't belong.
A A7+
Like me, there's no room for us out there,
Bm7
you can lose your hope and pride,
Dm
when it comes to broken dreams
you'll get your share.
F#m7 B9 F#m7 B9
Sometimes a man breaks down,
F#m7 B9
and the good things he is looking for
F#m7 B9
are crushed into the ground.
F#m7
Get on up, look around,
B9
can't you feel the wind of change?
F#m7
Get on up, taste the air,
B9
can't you see the wind of change?
F#m7
Don't you understand what I'm saying?
B9
We need a god down here,
F#m7
a man to lead us children,
B9
take us from the valley of fear.
F#m7
Make the lights shine down on us,
B9
show us the road to go,
F#m7
help us survive, make us arrive,
B9
teach us what we need to know.
