intro (organ): Bm , G , F# (x2)

           Bm      G
And it's a sad sad story
       D                   A
One of death and crime and glory
        Bm        G    F#
Is the one I'm telling you
            Bm           G
And in the middle of the night
            D        A 
The bullets fill the sky
          Bm        G    F#
Cause in Wilmington that is true (x2)

Bm
Long time been running
G              F#
Through my hometown
Bm
Where a street divides it's all up
       G              F#
Into a bullet-riddled town

Bm
And you can hear them coming
G                     F#
Through a transistor radio
Bm
As I walk through the streets Where I started this dream
G                         F#
It's the place that I call home

           Bm      G
And it's a sad sad story
       D                   A
One of death and crime and glory
        Bm        G    F#
Is the one I'm telling you
            Bm           G
And in the middle of the night
            D        A 
The bullets fill the sky
          Bm        G    F#
Cause in Wilmington that is true (x2)

Bm
Long time been running
      G                        F#
It's the East and West battle ground
Bm
Where George Blanko took a side at a young age
      G                         F#      
And he was locked up since he was twelve

Bm
And it's a big human wreckage
   G                 F# 
No matter where you go
Bm
As I walk through the streets Where I started this dream
G                         F#
It's the place that I call home

           Bm      G
And it's a sad sad story
       D                   A
One of death and crime and glory
        Bm        G    F#
Is the one I'm telling you
            Bm           G
And in the middle of the night
            D        A 
The bullets fill the sky
          Bm        G    F#
Cause in Wilmington that is true (x2)
