Rory Gallagher – Kickback City (Guitar)

C
They say this town will kill you

C                                 G         
They say this town ainït got no soul

C
This town could take a childïs smile

C                  G
And turn it into stone

F
But donït you think I know that

                               C   Am
This place has cut me to the bone

C                          G
Trouble crawling up your back

                     C     G  F  C  F  C
Fear just eats your soul

C           
You say this town will eat you up

C                                G
You say this town ainït got no heart

C
You try to lear all your lines

C                    G
And try to play the part

F
With all this double dealing

                                 C  Am
I tell you brother, you get smart

C     
Here in Kickback City

G                       C    G  F  C  G  F  C
Youïve lost before you start

C                                            G
People in subways look nearly half-dazed to me

C
Renting tomorrow Investing in sorrow

G
No belief

C                                               G
Faces in didestreets, hiding like angels from grace

C
Selling you sorrow

G
Youïre out of place

C
They say this town will kill you

C                                 G
They say this town ainït got no soul

C
Theyïll set you up and pull the stitch

C                             G
Til youïre unravelled on the floor

F
But I wonït let it beat me

                                  C  Am
Though troubleïs knocking on my door

C
Somehow itïs just your smile

G                              C
That keeps me coming back for more

C                   G
Here in Kickback City

                     C  
Feel Iïm goinï down slow
