Hallowed Ground Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Throwing stones on hallowed gro[F]und
Keep [G]throwing them stones on
hallowed [Eb]ground[F]
Every[G]body's intent on killing someone
The streets are closed,
there's a kid in the run
The bullets scream out from gun to [C]gun
[G]But don't be smart
The cold and darkness of a criminal dawn
[F]Wra[G]pped in blankets, girl, keep us husband
A child in the arms of a teenage mo[C]m
Who'll [Em]be there?
[G]Who'll be the next victim
Of the [F]criminal [C]dawn?[Eb]
[G]Old friends meet on the edge [Gm]of town
Shar[C]ing conversations,
hoping thing[Cm]s will soon get bet[F]ter
While the [G]children meet,
got the [Gm]world at their feet
Not [G]knowing [C]what's around the corner
[Cm]Are we livin[Eb]g for one sad futu[F]re?
[G]Throwing stones on
the hallowed [F]ground
Down [G]on the corners it's a broken man
[F]Lifts b[G]y the bottle twist, never again
Lost his money on the dogs in [C]jail
Now [G]works for a sober in a garbage can
The kids hang around by the
old school ground
Right by the river where
the body was found
Throwing stones on hallowed [C]ground
[Em]Who'll be the, [G]who'll be the next victim
[F]Of the criminal [C]dawn?[Cm]
[G]Old friends meet on the edge [Gm]of town
Shar[C]ing conversations,
hoping thing[Cm]s will soon get better[F]
While their [G]children meet,
got the world at [Gm]their feet
Not knowing [C]what's
around the [Cm]corner
Are we [Eb]living for an uncertain
[F]future?[G]
Everybody's killing someone
[Em]Who'll be the [G]next victim?
Everybody's [F]killing someone
[C#]Who'[Eb]ll be the next?[G]
Old friends meet on the edge [Gm]of town
Shar[C]ing conversations,
hoping thing[Cm]s will soon get better[F]
While [G]their children meet
Got the world un[Gm]der their feet
[C]What's around the [Cm]corner?
[Eb]An unc[F]ertain fut[Eb]ure[F][G]
[Cm][F][G][Eb][F]
[G]A month stealing the kids off the street
[F]The [G]feed just gro[Eb]ws[F][G]
I will lose the [Eb]capacity [F]to trust
[G]Angui[Eb]sh and[F] te[G]rror falls, suddenly[Eb]
[F][G]
