Sting – Harmony Road (Guitar)

Gmaj7               Em
The street where we live

            Bm                       F#m
Is commonly known as being the wrong side of town

Gmaj7                Em
They look down their noses at you

     Bm                  A
Like they're entitled to keep you down

Gmaj7              Em
Our street has its social issues

    Bm                   F#m
And violent crime by the bucket load

Gmaj7                  A                Gmaj7
They laughed when they named it Harmony Road

Gmaj7                 Em
They say where you're born

               Bm                   F#m
Will have an effect on how you turn out in life

Gmaj7          Em
So how can you make a living

     Bm                A
When all you have is a pocket knife?

Gmaj7              Em
You don't have the choice to run

       Bm            F#m
From another violent episode

Gmaj7           A               Gmaj7
Welcome to life here on Harmony Road

Gmaj7    Em         Bm      F#m
One day, we'll make a break

Gmaj7      Em         Bm         A
Get out of here, make no mistake

Gmaj7         Em
We'll steal a car

Bm                F#m
Find a happy song on the radio

Gmaj7               A          Gmaj7
And never come back to Harmony Road

Gmaj7             Em
You walk down the hill

                 Bm                    F#m
And past the old factory shuttered for twenty years

Gmaj7            Em
There used to be work

               Bm                  A
But you wonder how you'll ever get out of here

Gmaj7      Em
If I had a song in me

        Bm                 F#m
I would pay off all of the debts I owed

Gmaj7          A               Gmaj7
I'm all out of tune on Harmony Road

Gmaj7             Em
I'll find us some money

           Bm                  F#m
And I will take you with me, I promise you

Gmaj7             Em
I'll buy you some fancy clothes

          Bm                   A
And we'll do all the things we wanted to

Gmaj7           Em
And no one will know

               Bm                    F#m
That we're any different, we're just à la mode

Gmaj7            A                Bbmaj7
The king and the queen of Harmony Road

Abmaj7 Fm             Cm               Gm
  One day, we'll make a break from here

Abmaj7       Fm       Cm            Bb
We'll make it big and have no fear

Abmaj7          Fm
Won't carry the social stigma

   Cm                  Gm
Of being judged by our postal code

Abmaj7         Bb                Abmaj7
And we will be done with Harmony Road

Abmaj7          Fm
But then in our dreams

             Cm                 Gm
Are we to be haunted by what we left behind?

Abmaj7          Fm
That road has a way of

            Cm               Bb
Pulling you back if ever you give it mind

Abmaj7        Fm
No matter the riches

            Cm               Bb
And all the palaces where we may have strode

Abmaj7       Bb                Abmaj7
We'll always belong to Harmony Road

Abmaj7       Bb                Eb
We'll always belong to Harmony Road
