Verse 1
Well, (F sharp major) you've seen your bright
visions of glory
Where love built your cities on (B major) high (C sharp major)
I've (F sharp major) just seen the cold
Lord's dungeons
Where the victims of (C sharp major) sinless cry (F sharp major)
They're (B major) called to the city of (F sharp major) sorrow
To confess all the wrong
things they'd (C sharp major) done
Their (F sharp major) teardrops are weepin'
(B major) much (F sharp major) louder
When the city's blown down (C sharp major)
by the bomb (F sharp major) s
There's a street name for
every (B major) disease (F sharp major) here
Siff Valley and Clap (B major) Avenue
(F sharp major) And the whores and the pimps
and their victims
All pass on the (C sharp major) curb from our (F sharp major) view
Once young (B major) ,
once healthy an (F sharp major) d happy,
now a whirlpool of rav (G sharp major) ing insane
(C sharp major) Cause (F sharp major) here in this wild VD city,
nobody knows (C sharp major) you by name (F sharp major)
Your eyes are too festive (B major) to (F sharp major) see here,
your body is (B major) rotten by sores
(F sharp major) Every wind stands full (B major) of lost (F sharp major) faces
Human wrecks pile the
(C sharp major) stairs and the doors (F sharp major)
Must you pay (B major) your way to this (F sharp major) city
With an hour of pas (G sharp major) sion and vice
(C sharp major) I pray (F sharp major) that I'll not see
your face here
Where the millions now (C sharp major) burn
in this (F sharp major) fire you
