[Intro]
Am E F E
[Chorus 1]
Am E
Hey man, c'mon down
F E
They're sellin' truth on the corner now
Am E
Look at him all dressed in white
F E
Said the angels musta came into town last night
Am E
Hey man, c'mon down
F E
They got your fix on the corner downtown
Am E
Look at him with the heavy hearts,
F E
broke down at the bottom, not knowin' where to start singin'
[Verse 1]
Am Am/C
it's all there, in black and white
E G
you can lay down or you can put up a fight
Am Am/C
or you can, break bread with the beggars and thieves
E G
or you can, highhorse your way to your knees
Am Am/C
or you can take that lesson that you learned today,
E G
share it around or throw it away
Am Am/C
but in the end you're gonna see, you're the only one
E N.C.
and this life's just a game, until the game stops bein' fun
[Chorus 2]
Am E
Hey man, c'mon down
F E
They're sellin' truth on the corner now
Am E
Look at him all dressed in white
F E
Said the angels musta came into town last night
Am E
Hey man, c'mon down
F E
They got your fix on the corner downtown
Am E
Look at him with the heavy hearts,
F E
broke down at the bottom, not knowin' where to start
[Verse 2]
Am Am/C
Well he's a, broke down, he's a bad seed
E G
He's a, coked out, down on his knees
Am Am/C
He took a, wrong turn, down a wrong street
E G
And he, he got burned by his family
Am Am/C
He says "I'm givin' up", he says "I'm givin' in"
E G
Got the preacher man preachin' 'bout livin' in sin
Am Am/C
He's got God and the Devil, fightin' for his soul,
E N.C.
bought for a price and now he's sellin' it all singin'
[Pre-Chorus]
Am E
Hey man, c'mon down

Am E
Hey man, c'mon down
F E
singin'
