No capo
*= One strum
[Verse 1]
A# Cadd9
He got a new mercy, a new grace, Street corner preacher with the angry
Cm7 G*
face, He got two years off, for good behavior , Back in the neighborhood
working for the savior,
A# Cadd9
There's two old ladies and a junkie noddin' off, now He can see for sure that his
Cm7
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]
A# Cadd9 Cm7
Bau bau, buh do de da, De da de, bau bau, buh do de da,de da de, Bau
D#
Bau, , buh do de dah, de da de, bau bau, ya ya
[Verse 2]
A# Cadd9
Well, he understands the need for living it large, But it's hard to get a job
Cm7
with a felony charge, Now he's working in a hospital washing dishes,
G*
Walking through the fields of the lost inhibitions,
A# Cadd9
There is death every breath , a new benediction, to save the liver from
Cm7
awaking, death is his conviction, The eyes of man, well he seeks no
G* A#
favor, back in the neighborhood working for the savior
[Bridge]
Cadd9 D# A# Cadd9 D#
But there's a whole lotta trouble all around, Every night the same old siren
A# Cadd9 D# A# Cadd9 D#
Sound, There's a whole lotta trouble all around, Children soldiers in this
A#
battle ground
[Chorus]
A# Cadd9 Cm7
Bau bau, buh do de da, De da de, bau bau, buh do de da,de da de, Bau
D#
Bau, , buh do de dah, de da de, bau bau, ya ya
[Verse 3]
A# Cadd9
Well, a new sun and a second chance, He unbolts the door and hops over
Cm7 G*
the fence, Young woman with a baby that her daddy gave her, back in the
neighborhood working for the savior,
A# Cadd9
But all around the war rages on, burnt out houses with the front door gone,
Cm7 G*
Well his faith is his fountain, his love is his labor, Back in the neighborhood
A#
working for the savior,
Cadd9 Cm7 D#
Whoa, yeah, ahh
[Chorus]
A# Cadd9 Cm7
Bau bau, buh do de da, De da de, bau bau, buh do de da,de da de, Bau
D#
Bau, , buh do de dah, de da de, bau bau, ya ya
[Outro]
A# Cadd9
He got a new mercy, a new grace, Street corner preacher with the angry
Cm7 G*
face, He got two years off for good behavior, back in the neighborhood
D*
working for the savior
