John Gorka – Dream Street (Guitar)

            E                        A
I saw the champ running down by the river

           E                     B A
With his trainer and his stretch limousine

    E                               C#m
I don't recall the year but it was late in his career

               A                         B
When he was featured in those glove magazines

       E                               A
They never leave the ring before it's too late

       E                B          A
They never seem to quit in their prime

             E                          C#m
I guess you take it as a given that a champion is driven

   A                           B
So he can always win one more time

              A        E          A
So there's a new reservation on Dream Street

        A        C#m      A
With a room with no view of before

          E
It takes years for some to check in

     C#m
But Dream Street will beckon

              A                           B
'Til they're mumbling their names at the door

     C#m                       B
Some do it out of pride, some do it for the dough

      A                                    B
Some do cause it's the only thing they're ever gonna know

C#m                             B
Promoters take the money, the fighters take the pain

      A                              B
They find a new sucker, and they'll do it again

     C#m B A     C#m B A B  E B A  E B A
Woah,        Woah

         E                       A
From the time before he won the title

           E              B        A
Till the referee stopped his last fight

E                      C#m
Oh I swear there was greatness there

            A                        B
Till those younger guys put out the light

E                     A
Now he's in his ever after

      E                 B      A
With money to last all of his days

            E                                 C#m
Oh but the price makes you shiver, fate's an Indian giver

     A                     B
She giveth and she taketh away

              A        E          A
So there's a new reservation on Dream Street

        A        C#m      A
With a room with no view of before

          E
It takes years for some to check in

     C#m
But Dream Street will beckon

              A                           B
'Til they're mumbling their names at the door

     C#m B A     C#m B A B
Woah,        Woah

C#m             B A      B
Dream Street is calling, Larry

C#m             B A      B
Dream Street is calling, Joe

C#m             B A      B
Dream Street is calling, Muhammad

C#m             B A      B
Dream Street is calling, Yo

C#m             B A      B
Dream Street is calling

C#m             B A      B
Dream Street is calling

C#m             B A      B  E
Dream Street is calling...
