Mighty Mighty Bosstones ?" Riot On Broad Street

INTRO: Em C X4

VERSE 1:
  Em              C
My father once told this to me, Boston's gritty history
 Em             C
Another ruthless battle in a useless holy war
Em              C
Handed down discrepancies and tensions that'll never ease
     Em              C
One early afternoon on broad street, it blew up down there for sure
G            D        C
Broad street's just not broad enough and you just don't love God enough
  G       D        C
And if that isn't odd enough we've taken too much crap
    G          D         C
You've pushed us round the sod enough, we've scrapped and rapped and jawed enough
G          D      C
Poked, provoked and prod enough, something's gonna snap

BREAK: Em C X2

VERSE 2:
      Em                 C
The Boston fire fighting volunteers, on their way to fight a fire somewhere
   Em          C
Met a funeral procession proceeding way too slow
 Em                 C
A brownstone burns out of control, we need to lay to rest this soul
Em                 C
Loggerheads on broad street, eye to eye and toe to toe
G            D        C
Broad street's just not broad enough and you just don't love God enough
  G       D        C
And if that isn't odd enough we've taken too much crap
    G          D         C
You've pushed us round the sod enough, we've scrapped and rapped and jawed enough
G          D      C
Poked, provoked and prod enough, something's gonna snap

CHORUS:
G D     Em  C         G        D        C      D
Riot down on broad street, hand me a brick, stick, a picket, bottle, axe or cobblestone
G D     Em  C      G      D          Em         C
Riot down on broad street, and if I'm going down, hell, I'm not going down alone, I won't go down alone

BREAK: Em C X4

VERSE 3:
  Em               C
And when the fight was over they retired to the Clover
    Em                C
Silver Dollar, Thirsty Scholar, whatever pubs they had back then
 Em               C
A brownstone was in ashes, broken bones and bloody gashes
   Em                   C
And a casket sat on broad street 'til the sun came up again
G            D        C
Broad street's just not broad enough and you just don't love God enough
  G       D        C
And if that isn't odd enough we've taken too much crap
    G          D         C
You've pushed us round the sod enough, we've scrapped and rapped and jawed enough
G          D      C
Poked, provoked and prod enough, something's gonna snap

CHORUS/ENDING:
G D     Em  C         G        D        C      D
Riot down on broad street, hand me a brick, stick, a picket, bottle, axe or cobblestone
G D     Em                         C
Riot down on broad street, and if I'm going down, hell, I'm not going down alone
    Em              C
And if I'm going down, hell, I'm not going down alone
    Em              C
And if I'm going down, hell, I'm not going down alone
     Em      C            Em      C
There's a Riot down on broad street, there's a Riot down on broad street
     Em      C            Em      C
There's a Riot down on broad street, there's a Riot down on broad street
