"Letter to Lady J" Dispatch
Capo on 4
[Verse 1]
CMy dear old friend, it’s Fyou we Cneed
CThere’s blood in the gutter and Ffear in the sCtreets
FHow long do we have to fight for a change that never Gcomes?
Oh, in Amsome ways it’s the Csame, but tonight the crowd they Amcame
GFists in the air, candles and vigils
GCracked dreams held together with curses and wishes, but
[Chorus]
CHow long’s it been since you’ve Fbeen oCutside
CHow long’s it been since you’ve Amopened your Geyes
GI’ve been to the line and it’s Call right Fthere
FAnd I cannot wait to get Gon from Chere
[Verse 2]
CArms bend back and Fblacked anCd welt
The iCnvoluntary tears and the Ftears we Cfelt
FDoes it always have to get worse before it gets Gbetter
Oh, in Amsome ways it’s the Csame, but tonight the crowd they Amcame
GFists in the air, candles and vigils,
GCracked dreams held together with curses and wishes, but
[Chorus]
CHow long’s it been since you’ve Fbeen oCutside
CHow long’s it been since you’ve Amopened your Geyes
GI’ve been to the line and it’s Call right Fthere
FAnd I cannot wait to get Gon from Chere

CVirgil Kane, where Fare you Cnow
CDid they bury the hate when they Fburied the Csouth?
FWe’ve got to tell the spirit mystics of Gtomorrow that
in Amsome ways it’s the Csame, but tonight the crowd they Fcame
FFists in the air, candles and Gvigils
GCracked dreams held together with curses and wishes, but
[Chorus]
CHow long’s it been since you’ve Fbeen oCutside
