BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN: DEATH TO MY HOMETOWN (Revised)

Capo on 3rd fret

C F
(Chant)

C                                          F 
Oh no cannonball did fly, no rifles cut us down
C                                                 F
No bombs fell from the sky, no blood did soak the ground
   C                                                F
No powder flash blinded the eye, no deathly thunder sounded
    C                                             C        G      C
But just as sure as the hand of God, they brought death to my hometown
C            C        G      C
They brought death to my hometown, boys

C F
(Chant)

C                                                   F 
No shells ripped the evening sky, no cities burning down
          C                                                       F
No armies stormed the shores for which we'd die no dictators were crowned
C                                           F
I awoke from a quiet night, I never heard a sound
  C                                      C        G      C 
Marauders raided in the dark and brought death to my hometown, boys
C        G      C
Death to my hometown

C F
(Chant)

        F                              C
They destroyed our families' factories and they took our homes
     F                                  C                   G
They left our bodies on the plains, the vultures picked our bones

   C                                               F
So listen up, my sonny boy, be ready for when they come
C                                           F
For they'll be returning sure as the rising sun
    C                                                   F
Now get yourself a song to sing and sing it 'til you're done

      F       C        F       C
Yeah, sing it hard and sing it well
         F      C      F           C
Send the robber barons straight to hell
    F      C           F     C
The greedy thieves who came around
    F       C             F          C
And ate the flesh of everything they found
      F           C      F        C
Whose crimes have gone unpunished now
    F        C          F        C 
Who walk the streets as free men now

                C        G       C 
Oh they brought death to our hometown, boys
C        G       C
Death to our hometown, boys
C        G       C
Death to our hometown, boys
C        G       C
Death to our hometown, whoa!
