Streets Of Philadelphia Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Bm][B]
[G][Bm][B]
[Bm]I was

[Verse 1]
[G]bruised and
battered and I couldn't tell what I felt
[Bm]I was un[B]recognizable to myself
I [Bm]saw my [G]reflection in a window
I didn't know my own face
Brother[Bm],
are you [B]gonna leave me wastin' away
On the streets of [Bm]Philadelphi[C] a?

[Verse 2]
La- la- la- la- la [G]La- la-
la- la- la
[D]La- la- la- la- la
La- la- la- la- la
On the streets of Phil[C]adelphia
La- la- la- la- [G]la
La- la- [D]la- la- la
La- la- la- la- la
La- la- la- la- la

[Verse 3]
I walked [G]the avenue till my
legs felt like stone
I heard [Bm]the voices of friends
vanished and gone
At night I [G]could hear the blood in my veins
Just as [Bm]black and whispering
as the rain
On the streets of [C]Philadelphia

[Verse 4]
La- la- la- la- [G]la
La- la- la- la- la

La- [D]la- la- la- la
La- la- la- la- la
La- la- la- [Em]la- la

[Verse 5]
Ain't no angel gonna [Em]greet [G]me[C]
It's just you and I my [G]friend[Bm]
And my clothes don't [C]fit
me no [D]more

[Verse 6]
A thousand miles just to slip this skin
[G]The night has fallen, I'm lyin'[C] awa[G]ke
[Bm]I can feel myself fading away
So re[G]ceive me brother
with your faithless kiss
Or will [Bm]we leave each other
alone like this
On the streets of Phil[C]adelphia?

[Verse 7]
