This is my first song. Let me know if anything is wrong.
Capo 2nd
[recording]
Bronx bound 1, 42nd street times square next.
Stand clear of the closing doors
G,Em,D,C,D
G
Bronx bound uptown, that's my line.
Em
Don't look like much, but it's all mine.
D
The end of the road is all I know,
C C
242nd street, I'm almost home.
G
The roar of the crowd from Gaelic Park
Em
underage guinness at the terminal bar
D
the lights on broadway never looked so fine
C D
as they do underneath the one and nine
Em
Well the din of the subway cars
C
sounds like a heavenly choir
Em
and the shower of sparks they bring
C D
shine like angels' wings
Em
and the writing on the concrete walls
G
is all I need
C
to lead me to salvation
D G
underneath the one and nine
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/shilelagh_law/1_and_9_crd.html ]
G
jam packed nights at sam mcguire's
Em
that's where I first caught the fire
D
I jumped on stage, sang dirty old town
C D
it broke my heart when that joint closed down
Em
Well the din of the subway cars
C
sounds like a heavenly choir
Em
and the shower of sparks they bring
C D
shine like angels' wings
Em
and the writing on the concrete walls
G
is all I need
C
to lead me to salvation
D G
underneath the one and nine
*Not sure of the chords, if you know them, let me know*
I met my love by the gas works wall
I dreamed a dream by the old canal
I Kissed my girl by the factory wall
It's a Dirty old town
It's a Dirty old town
G
its a world of troubles
I sure had some
Em
I don't know where I'm going
but I know where I'm from
D
I'm from new york town, the very best part
C D
with the guts and the grit and the love and the heart
G(Hold)
so when my time has finally come
G Em(Hold)
buy me one last token for one last run
Em D(Hold)
with a sweet slow song, and a bottle of wine
C
spread my ashes neath the one and nine
G,Em,D,
C(hold) C,G
242nd Street, I'm almost home
