14th Street Chords & Tabs
G B7 Em
You've got my lost brother's soul
C+7
My dear mother's eyes
A7
A brown horse's mane
G G7 D7
And my uncle's name
G B7 Em
You walked me down 14th Street
C+7 A7
For the doctor to meet after thoughts of the grave
G D7 G
In the home of the brave and of the weak
G C
But why'd you have to break all my heart
G D D7
Couldn't you have saved a little bit of it?
G C
Why'd you have to break all my heart?
G D7
Couldn't you have saved a minor part?

I could have clipped and saved and planted in the garden
Em Em/D EmDb Em/C D
Damn you guess I'll have to get a new one
I'd love to sit and watch you drink
With the reins to the world, gripping a smoke
Vaguely missing link
Don't ever change you hungry little bashful hound
I got the sheep, poor little Bo Peep
Has lost and filed for grounds.
But why'd you have to break all my heart
I could have ripped apart and thrown into the river
Wonder if there's hearts that will deliver
G C+7
Don't ever change, don't ever worry
DbDim G
Because I'm coming back home tomorrow
G C+7
To 14th Street where I won't hurry
DbDim G
And where I'll learn how to save, not just borrow
Am B7
And they'll be rainbows and we will finally know
Now run down chromatically from G (single notes) for 1 octave and start the progression for the verse
What a fantastic song, enjoy ;-)
