Elan - Street Child

      
 
 "Street Child"
                        B                      
 We are the little ones who roam the underbelly
 F#                                    B 
 Of the streets that normal people walk
 Abm                                           F#   
 Wrong side of the tracks, the deep end of the ocean
 Abm                                    F#   
 The color of the gypsies in the shadow night
 
 
 B                                        Abm 
 Darkness inside out seeps into your veins
 Listen to the rain
 F#                              
 The only thing keeping you alive
             Abm      
 Is the gracious night
 
 
 (Chorus:)
 
        B           Abm               
 Let me go, let me sleep until forever
        F#                               Abm  
 Let me close my eyes and hide until the never
        B           Abm             
 Let me go, let me slip into the sky
 F#                                  Ab 
 And tiptoe into madness in a hollow cry
 
  B                         Abm                  
 'Cause no one ever told me I committed any crime
 F#                          Abm         
 And no one ever told me how I went blind
 
 B                           Abm      
 And all I ever wanted was a free mind
 F#                                        Abm       
 A guiltless conscience and a place where I could fly
 
 B                                
 I threw my cards out on the table
               Abm                
 And I put my neck out on the line
 F#                             
 I took the verdict I was handed
         Abm                
 And now I've served my time
 
 (Chorus x2)
 
 B Abm F# Abm 
   SOLO
 
 (Chorus x2)
