intro (organ): B5 , G5 , F#5 (x2)

           B5      G5
And it's a sad sad story
       D5                   A5
One of death and crime and glory
        B5        G5    F#5
Is the one I'm telling you
            B5           G5
And in the middle of the night
            D5        A5 
The bullets fill the sky
          B5        G5    F#5
Cause in Wilmington that is true (x2)

B5
Long time been running
G5              F#5
Through my hometown
B5
Where a street divides it's all up
       G5              F#5
Into a bullet-riddled town

B5
And you can hear them coming
G5                     F#5
Through a transistor radio
B5
As I walk through the streets Where I started this dream
G5                         F#5
It's the place that I call home

           B5      G5
And it's a sad sad story
       D5                   A5
One of death and crime and glory
        B5        G5    F#5
Is the one I'm telling you
            B5           G5
And in the middle of the night
            D5        A5 
The bullets fill the sky
          B5        G5    F#5
Cause in Wilmington that is true (x2)

B5
Long time been running
      G5                        F#5
It's the East and West battle ground
B5
Where George Blanko took a side at a young age
      G5                         F#5      
And he was locked up since he was twelve

B5
And it's a big human wreckage
   G5                 F#5 
No matter where you go
B5
As I walk through the streets Where I started this dream
G5                         F#5
It's the place that I call home

           B5      G5
And it's a sad sad story
       D5                   A5
One of death and crime and glory
        B5        G5    F#5
Is the one I'm telling you
            B5           G5
And in the middle of the night
            D5        A5 
The bullets fill the sky
          B5        G5    F#5
