Intro: G#m
G#mThere's (133111@4)an old shed at the end of an overgrown driveway
And years ago that shed collapsed and fell
C#mYears (x13321@4)before that there's a withered dog chained up there
G#m
I saved him maybe he saved me as well
D#5 (xx134x@1) C#5Now (x133xx@4)he's gone and I think I've come undone
G#m (133111@4) C#m (x13321@4) G#mIt's (133111@4)midnight in the city of destruction
Chorus:
G#mLa (133111@4)la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
C#mLa (x13321@4)la la la la la la la
G#m (133111@4) C#m (x13321@4) G#mLa (133111@4)la la la la la la la
G#mThere's (133111@4)music in the air and suites abandoned
They're singing 'cross farm in the evening breeze
C#mBut (x13321@4)there's someone in the rows who's unwanted
G#mAnd (133111@4)now they cut the faithful from the trees
D#5 (xx134x@1) C#5And (x133xx@4)the bulldozers move in one by one
G#m (133111@4) C#m (x13321@4) G#mAnd (133111@4)it's midnight in the city of destruction
Chorus
G#mI (133111@4)lost my guitar my home my hope and my good fortune
I lost my grandfather, two neighbors and my friend
C#mI (x13321@4)pray that God myself will come and drown the president
C#m (x13321@4)
If the levees break again
D#5 (xx134x@1) C#5Now (x133xx@4)we're standing at the crossroads waitin' for instruction
G#m (133111@4) C#m (x13321@4) G#mAnd (133111@4)it's midnight in the city of destruction
Chorus
G#mThere's (133111@4)a secret prison somewhere south of 60
And in that secret prison there is a secret cell
C#mAnd (x13321@4)the prisoners bound and burned, blinded and beaten
G#mStill (133111@4)that secret prisoner keeps his secret well
D#5 (xx134x@1) C#5Turn (x133xx@4)out the lights cause for one night that's enough son
G#m (133111@4) C#m (x13321@4) G#mIt's (133111@4)midnight in the city of destruction
