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) F C Em7 Am (x2) (accoustic only)
               F                   C
Why didn't you come when I beat my drum

                    Em7               Am
And screamed off my head out into the night

              F                    C
Scared of the slums, afraid of the guns

            Em7              Am
Don't wanna see the hoodlums fight

        F             C

And you screamed your head off into the night

            F                      C
I grew up around different part of town

But even the universes collide

And by the castas we don't divide

Two helicopters with machine guns

         Em7                Am
Over the slums proudly will glide

            F             C
So when the universes collide

           Em7                     Am
