[Verse 1]
Well, a Dmcop got away
With Dmmurder today
Sparked the Bbmarch
Of the Efiery Abrigade
How they Dmscreamed at the lenses, the Dmlawyers and lights
And they Bbhurled all their curses with Eall of their Amight
And the Bbnews
Said glad that it's Aover
The left-paper Bbrags
Said there goes anEotherA  
And both Dmsides left the Esigns with the Gmstacked barriAcades
 BbIt'll wash it all aAway when it DmrainsDm  Bb  E  A  
[Verse 2]
Well, they Dmcame down from high rises
DmMansions, estates
Downtown into a Bbcity
Of Ecatered Achampagne
And they Dmlaughed and they danced
And they Dmdined on their steaks
There were Bbfloors to be swept
And Ebills to be Apaid
And the Bbmayor
Said glad you came Aover
And now what to Gmdo
With these Bbjailed wild Arovers?
All the Dmcourts, and conEfetti, and Gmdumpsters in Aflames
 BbIt'll wash it all aAway when it Dmrains
[Ladadada Part, same chords as verses]

[Verse 3]
There's a Dmman on the bridge
Old Dmrust and new paint
While the Bbmarching machine's
Spilling Esand by the Abay
Pump's Dmbusted again
For the Dmrivers and trains
While the Bbchoirs all preach
'Bout an Eearth to be Asaved
Don't you Bbknow
There's no need to Aworry
Of the old Gmtale
With a Bbbeautiful Aending
All the Dmshells
And the Esmoke
And the Gmhallowed ground Dmpaved
And the Dmscraps
And the Ecrumbs
And the Gmmess that we mAade
And I Dmwish that it Eall would Gmjust go aAway
  BbIt'll wash it all aAway
When it A7rainsDm

[Verse 1]

Well, a cop got away

With murder today

Sparked the march

E A

Of the fiery brigade

Dm Dm

How they screamed at the lenses, the lawyers and lights

Bb E A

And they hurled all their curses with all of their might

And the news

Said glad that it's over

The left-paper rags

E A

Said there goes another

Dm E Gm A

And both sides left the signs with the stacked barricades

Bb A Dm Dm Bb E A

It'll wash it all away when it rains

[Verse 2]

Well, they came down from high rises

Mansions, estates

Downtown into a city

E A

Of catered champagne

And they laughed and they danced

And they dined on their steaks

There were floors to be swept

E A

And bills to be paid

And the mayor

Said glad you came over

And now what to do

Bb A

With these jailed wild rovers?

Dm E Gm A

All the courts, and confetti, and dumpsters in flames

Bb A Dm

It'll wash it all away when it rains

[Ladadada Part, same chords as verses]

Dm Bb E A

Dm Dm Bb E A

Bb Bb Dm Dm

Dm Dm Dm Dm

[Verse 3]

There's a man on the bridge

Old rust and new paint

While the marching machine's

E A

Spilling sand by the bay

Pump's busted again

For the rivers and trains

While the choirs all preach

E A

'Bout an earth to be saved

Don't you know

There's no need to worry

Of the old tale

Bb A

With a beautiful ending

All the shells

And the smoke

Gm Dm

And the hallowed ground paved

And the scraps

And the crumbs

Gm A

And the mess that we made

Dm E Gm A

And I wish that it all would just go away

Bb A

It'll wash it all away

A7 Dm
