No capo
*= One strum
[Verse 1]
E Cadd9
He got a new mercy, a new grace, Street corner preacher with the angry
F#m7 G*
face, He got two years off, for good behavior , Back in the neighborhood
working for the savior,
E Cadd9
There's two old ladies and a junkie noddin' off, now He can see for sure that his
F#m7
work is cut out, Though he walks through the shadows he won't fear his
G*
neighbor, Back in the neighborhood working for the savior,
[Chorus]
E Cadd9 F#m7
Bau bau, buh do de da, De da de, bau bau, buh do de da,de da de, Bau
A
Bau, , buh do de dah, de da de, bau bau, ya ya
[Verse 2]
E Cadd9
Well, he understands the need for living it large, But it's hard to get a job
F#m7
with a felony charge, Now he's working in a hospital washing dishes,
G*
Walking through the fields of the lost inhibitions,
E Cadd9
There is death every breath , a new benediction, to save the liver from
F#m7
awaking, death is his conviction, The eyes of man, well he seeks no
G* E
favor, back in the neighborhood working for the savior
[Bridge]
Cadd9 A E Cadd9 A
But there's a whole lotta trouble all around, Every night the same old siren
E Cadd9 A E Cadd9 A
Sound, There's a whole lotta trouble all around, Children soldiers in this
E
battle ground
[Chorus]
E Cadd9 F#m7
Bau bau, buh do de da, De da de, bau bau, buh do de da,de da de, Bau
A
Bau, , buh do de dah, de da de, bau bau, ya ya
[Verse 3]
E Cadd9
Well, a new sun and a second chance, He unbolts the door and hops over
F#m7 G*
the fence, Young woman with a baby that her daddy gave her, back in the
neighborhood working for the savior,
E Cadd9
But all around the war rages on, burnt out houses with the front door gone,
F#m7 G*
Well his faith is his fountain, his love is his labor, Back in the neighborhood
E
working for the savior,
Cadd9 F#m7 A
Whoa, yeah, ahh
[Chorus]
E Cadd9 F#m7
Bau bau, buh do de da, De da de, bau bau, buh do de da,de da de, Bau
A
Bau, , buh do de dah, de da de, bau bau, ya ya
[Outro]
E Cadd9
He got a new mercy, a new grace, Street corner preacher with the angry
F#m7 G*
face, He got two years off for good behavior, back in the neighborhood
D*
working for the savior
