Intro:  E5 , C5 , G5

1/)
Where I was born was called the bad side of the town
 E5                         C5             G5
but the people knew the difference between a smile and a frown
 E5                                    D5              D5
and it didn't cost a penny to shake a hand or two
 E5                        C5             G5
and if you help to make it thru the dark
          E5                D5
I would do the same thing to you.
              C5    D5            G5

2/)
Bad side of town, old soldiers never like down
 E5                  C5               G5      
got a penny in the pocket for a bottle of brown
 E5                                 D5      D5
and the women talk a giggling, the mothers everyone
 E5                            C5              G5
and the cildren play with the children
       E5                  D5
and the children always had fun.
        C5         D5           G5         G5


Chorus:

I can hear the river flow, inside of everyone
      C5      G5     A5     E5              A5
in spite of everyone, the tide is on the turn.
    D5               B5         B5              E5      C5 , G5 - E5 , D5 , D5

3/)
And the bad side of town, was named by nameless men
       E5                  C5             G5
do they knew themselves as faces never as friends.
       E5                           D5           D5
And the bad side of town, for sure it got to pull down
          E5                  C5               G5
and the people who lives to people, never put their faces down.
       E5                 D5            C5                 D5         G5     G5


Chorus:

I can hear the river flow, inside of everyone
      C5      G5     A5     E5              A5
in spite of everyone, the tide is on the turn.
    D5               B5         B5              E5      C5 , G5 - E5 , D5 , D5


I can hear the river flow, inside of everyone
      C5      G5     A5     E5              A5
in spite of everyone, the tide is on the turn.
    D5               B5         B5              E5      C5 , G5 - E5 , D5 , D5
