F5                 C5
Young girl upon a sidewalk
C5            ( Bb5 )              F5
Silver cross upon her silver chain
She was born and raised in Coney Island
But she?ll never make it back that way again

Young boy upon a highway
Walk a mile to work a double shift
On all that long and lonely skyway
There?s a heavy fog that might never lift

Chorus (x2)
Bb5           F5
Trouble been hard
           C5             Bb5          F5
Although I know that in that I ain?t alone

Young mom upon a bus seat
One child pullin? on her dress
Another softly asking to be held
Oh, heaven knows, I need so much less

Chorus (x2)

Solo: Verse Chords

Criminals by the river
Says one to one, ?Be still,
Did you see that figure on the levee?
And if the law don?t find us, Lord, the devil will.?

Chorus x2

Ain't in the truth
