    There's blood in the streets it's up to my ankles, 
    G5                        C5           Bb5
    Blood in the streets it's up to my knee; 
    G5                        C5             Bb5
    Blood in the streets, the town of Chicago. 
    G5                       C5        Bb5
    Blood on the rise, it's following me.

    She came, then she drove away, 
    F#5              A5
    Sunlight in her hair. 

    G5                          C5           Bb5
    Blood on the streets runs a river of sadness. 
    G5                         C5            Bb5
    Blood in the streets, it's up to my thigh.
        G5                   C5          Bb5 
    The river runs down the legs of the city; 
        G5                   C5            Bb5
    The women are crying red rivers of weeping. 

E5                                G5
    She came in town and then she drove away, 
    F#5               A5
    Sunlight in her hair.

    N.C.
    Indians scattered on dawn's highway. 
    Bleeding ghosts crowd the young childs fragile eggshell mind.

    G5             C5      Bb5     
    Blood in the streets of the
    G5           C5    Bb5
    town of New Haven; 
    G5               C5         Bb5
    Blood stains the roofs and the
    G5                  C5  Bb5
    palm trees of Venice. 
    G5          C5       Bb5  G5       C5  Bb5
    Blood in my love in the terrible summer; 

    G5           C5    Bb5    G5         C5  Bb5
    Bloody red sun of fan - tastic L.A. 
    G5                              C5               Bb5
    Blood screams her brain as they chop off her fingers. 
    G5                        C5            Bb5
    Blood will be born in the birth of a nation; 
    G5                   C5        Bb5   G5    C5  Bb5
    Blood is the rose of mysterious    union.

    Blood in the streets it's up to my knee; 
    G5                        C5             Bb5
    Blood in the streets, the town of Chicago. 
    G5                       C5        Bb5
    Blood on the rise, it's following me.
