Intro: Abm
Abm
There's an old shed at the end of an overgrown driveway
And years ago that shed collapsed and fell
C#m
Years before that there's a withered dog chained up there
Abm
I saved him maybe he saved me as well
Eb5 C#5
Now he's gone and I think I've come undone
Abm C#m Abm
It's midnight in the city of destruction
Chorus:
Abm
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
C#m
La la la la la la la la
Abm C#m Abm
La la la la la la la la
Abm
There's music in the air and suites abandoned
They're singing 'cross farm in the evening breeze
C#m
But there's someone in the rows who's unwanted
Abm
And now they cut the faithful from the trees
Eb5 C#5
And the bulldozers move in one by one
Abm C#m Abm
And it's midnight in the city of destruction
Chorus
Abm
I lost my guitar my home my hope and my good fortune
I lost my grandfather, two neighbors and my friend
C#m
I pray that God myself will come and drown the president
C#m
If the levees break again
Eb5 C#5
Now we're standing at the crossroads waitin' for instruction
Abm C#m Abm
And it's midnight in the city of destruction
Chorus
Abm
There's a secret prison somewhere south of 60
And in that secret prison there is a secret cell
C#m
And the prisoners bound and burned, blinded and beaten
Abm
Still that secret prisoner keeps his secret well
Eb5 C#5
Turn out the lights cause for one night that's enough son
Abm C#m Abm
It's midnight in the city of destruction
Chorus
