Ezra Furman – Pot Holes (Guitar)

G   Em   A   D D7
(x4)

       G
It's a beautiful city

           Em
We've been living in lately

      A
Never go to the South side

           D              D7
(Don't you go down to the South side.)

            G
And there's pot holes

                Em
Sleeping in the black concrete

         A
And your little rebel rebel's

       D           D7
Just a pebble in a big stream

           G
Yes, we're living underneath a

      Em
World imperial empire

         A
And it's built on the flimsy web of

     D              D7
Your money and your desire

   G
We built this city on the

Em
Ruins of rock and roll

                  A
One minute you're driving on smooth pavement

            D              D7
Then you're down in a dark pot hole

               G
And if there's black men sleeping on

     Em
Your white concrete

           A
You go and see a ten dollar movie

            D                        D7
Then you're caught in the web of the waking dream

G   Em   A   D D7
(x4)

G   Em   A   D D7
(x4)

       G
It's a beautiful city

        Em
But the streets are full of holes

           A
I spend my whole life on the North side

         D              D7
(I don't go down to the South side.)

      G
And I drive on the concrete

      Em
And I pay my taxes too

            A
And I could write a letter to the mayor

       D                 D7
But we both got a lot to do

        G
And I admit it's inconvenient

       Em
To get robbed in a combat zone

              A
Well, shit, I had to cancel my credit card

       D                  D7
Had to buy me a brand new phone

           G
But it's a beautiful city

        Em
And the cops are on our side

        A
I mosey down to check out the

                  D               D7
Angry mob just to keep myself occupied

            G
And you can talk about Chicago

        Em
You can talk about New York

        A
You can talk about London, England

        D                       D7
You can have a nice day, take a walk in the park

    G
But there's always at least two

          Em
Different cities in your town

           A
And if you can't look at the dark one

            D
Then you'll spend your life living

          D7
Down in a dark pot hole

G   Em   A   D D7
(x8)
