LACY J. DALTON

Intro bass run off G chrd (g,f#,f) to

Em chrd, D chrd and back to G

G Em

FROM THE CORNERS OF THE COUNTRY

D G

FROM THE CITIES AND THE FARMS

Em C

WITH YEARS AND YEARS OF LIVING

G D

TUCKED UP UNDERNEATH THEIR ARMS

Em C

THEY WALKED AWAY FROM EVERYTHING

G C

JUST TO SEE A DREAM COME TRUE

G Em

SO GOD BLESS THE BOYS WHO MAKE THE NOISE

C D7 G

ON SIXTEENTH AV-E-NUE

WITH A MILLION DOLLAR SPIRIT

AND AN OLD FLAT TOP GUITAR

THEY DRIVE TO TOWN WITH ALL THEY OWN

IN A HUNDRED DOLLAR CAR

'CAUSE ONE TIME SOMEONE TOLD'EM

ABOUT A FRIEND OF A FRIEND THEY KNEW

WHO OWNS YOU KNOW A STUDIO

ON SIXTEENTH AVENUE

NOW SOME ARE BORN TO MONEY

THEY NEVER HAD TO SAY SURVIVE

AND OTHERS SWING A NINE POUND HAMMER

JUST TO STAY ALIVE

THERE'S COWBOYS, DRUNKS AND CHRISTIANS

MOSTLY WHITE AND BLACK AND BLUE

THEY'VE ALL DIALED THE PHONE

COLLECT TO HOME

FROM SIXTEENTH AVENUE

(SHORT BREAK SIMILAR TO INTRO)

AH, BUT THEN ONE NIGHT IN SOME EMPTY ROOM

WHERE NO CURTAINS EVER HUNG

LIKE A MIRACLE SOME GOLDEN WORDS

ROLL OFF OF SOMEONE'S TONGUE

AND AFTER YEARS OF BEING NOTHING

THEY'RE ALL LOOKIN' RIGHT AT YOU

AND THEN FOR AWHILE

THEY'LL GO IN STYLE

ON SIXTEENTH AVENUE

HEY, IT LOOKS SO UNEVENTFUL

SO QUIET AND DISCRETE

BUT A LOT OF LIVES WERE CHANGED

DOWN ON THAT LITTLE ONE WAY STREET

'CAUSE THEY WALKED AWAY FROM EVERYTHING

JUST TO SEE A DREAM COME TRUE

SO GOD BLESS THE BOYS

WHO MAKE THE NOISE

ON SIXTEENTH AVENUE

REPEAT AND FADE FIRST VERSE
