Chords

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As far as i can tell, it's just the same four chords for the whole song, with the loudness increasing throughout. Enjoy. Intro (accoustic + accordion) C G Bm7 Em (x2) (accoustic only)
               C                   G
Why didn't you come when I beat my drum

                    Bm7               Em
And screamed off my head out into the night

              C                    G
Scared of the slums, afraid of the guns

            Bm7              Em
Don't wanna see the hoodlums fight

And you screamed your head off into the night

            C                      G
I grew up around different part of town

But even the universes collide

And by the castas we don't divide

        C                    G
Two helicopters with machine guns

         Bm7                Em
Over the slums proudly will glide

            C             G
So when the universes collide

           Bm7                     Em

Your mother told you
