intro (organ): Hm, G,  F#(x2)
And it's a Hmsad sad Gstory
One of Ddeath and crime and Aglory
Is the oHmne I'm telGling F#you
And in the mHmiddle of the Gnight
The bullets Dfill the Asky
Cause in WHmilmington Gthat F#is true (x2)
HmLong time been running
GThrough my homeF#town
HmWhere a street divides it's all up
Into a Gbullet-riddled F#town
HmAnd you can hear them coming
GThrough a transistor rF#adio
HmAs I walk through the streets Where I started this dream
GIt's the place that I call F#home
And it's a Hmsad sad Gstory
One of Ddeath and crime and Aglory
Is the oHmne I'm telGling F#you
And in the mHmiddle of the Gnight
The bullets Dfill the Asky
Cause in WHmilmington Gthat F#is true (x2)
HmLong time been running
It's tGhe East and West battle gF#round
HmWhere George Blanko took a side at a young age
And he Gwas locked up since he waF#s twelve

No Gmatter where you gF#o
HmAs I walk through the streets Where I started this dream

Hm G F#

intro (organ): , , (x2)

Hm G

And it's a sad sad story

D A

One of death and crime and glory

Hm G F#

Is the one I'm telling you

Hm G

And in the middle of the night

D A

The bullets fill the sky

Hm G F#

Cause in Wilmington that is true (x2)

Long time been running

Through my hometown

Where a street divides it's all up

Into a bullet-riddled town

And you can hear them coming

Through a transistor radio

As I walk through the streets Where I started this dream

It's the place that I call home

Cause in Wilmington that is true (x2)

Long time been running

It's the East and West battle ground

Where George Blanko took a side at a young age

G F#

And he was locked up since he was twelve

And it's a big human wreckage

G F#

No matter where you go

As I walk through the streets Where I started this dream

G F#

It's the place that I call home

Hm G

And it's a sad sad story

D A

One of death and crime and glory

Hm G F#

Is the one I'm telling you

And in the middle of the night
