Here are the chords for Boston, by the late great Dream Syndicate- Listen to the
EmCome bacGk to Boston as soon as you can
DThe wEmhole thing ain't gone down according to the plan
EmMorning Gwhen I wake up I don't like what I see
DAnd lEmate at night my dreams are terrifying me
EmWell, I was walkGing by the river in the early morning dew
DSingEming out lines from "Cypress Avenue"
EmI wonder Gwhat he felt like when it all came down
DCome Emback to Boston before I hit the ground
	CADnd CthDe winners 	stand confused
	GThey doDn't wanEmt to be misused
	CADnd CthDe losers 		that came before
	Say "I dEmon't wanCt to be hDere Emanymore"
I was standing on the back porch, looking at the books
Poets, politicians, beauty queens and crooks
I wonder where he stood when the information came
Come back to Boston before I jump the train (ch)
Come back to Boston or I'll meet you halfway
Somewhere by the middle of the interstate
We can take it on down to some cold deserted lake
And come back to Boston before we make the same mistake
Do you remember when we used to sing: Sha la la la la la la la la la
						 la de da.... (just like that)...
