Verse 1
D 
Bm 
Across the old Delaware I fell apart
G 
Asus4 
D 
In the city of brotherly love
Bm 
The wind's a bit hard
D 
G 
through the holes in my jacket
Asus4 
A 
My thoughts lean toward giving up
D 
See, I've been wandering
Bm 
And   it's been some time
G 
Asus4 
since I found somewhere I could belong
D 
Bm 
Till a cold wind on Walnut Street
F#m 
G 
whistled in the trees
Asus4 
A 
It sounded  to me like a song
D 
Said when you're down and you're out
F#m 
And don't remember

the feeling of joy
Bm 
You can lean on me brother,
F#m

I won't let you fall

Not while I'm a Philadelphia boy

Up on shoulders with strangers

The sinners,

the saints and the thieves
Bm 
F#m 
G 
Looked in faces befitting a cyn   ical age
Asus4 
A 
We so des      perately want to believe
D 
And when I needed a doctor
Bm 
and a brother and a friend
G 
Turned out I wasn't so
A 
D 
far from my home
Bm 
F#m 
G 
Sweet Philadelphia opened her arms

Took me in,      like I was one of her own

Said when you're down, and you're out
