LACY J. DALTON

Intro bass run off G chrd (g,f,f) to
Em chrd, D chrd and back to G

G Em
FROM THE CORNERS OF THE COUNTRY
D G
FROM THE CITIES AND THE FARMS
Em C
WITH YEARS AND YEARS OF LIVING
G D
TUCKED UP UNDERNEATH THEIR ARMS
Em C
THEY WALKED AWAY FROM EVERYTHING
G C
JUST TO SEE A DREAM COME TRUE
G Em
SO GOD BLESS THE BOYS WHO MAKE THE NOISE
C D7 G
ON SIXTEENTH AV-E-NUE

WITH A MILLION DOLLAR SPIRIT
AND AN OLD FLAT TOP GUITAR
THEY DRIVE TO TOWN WITH ALL THEY OWN
IN A HUNDRED DOLLAR CAR
`CAUSE ONE TIME SOMEONE TOLD`EM
ABOUT A FRIEND OF A FRIEND THEY KNEW
WHO OWNS YOU KNOW A STUDIO
ON SIXTEENTH AVENUE

NOW SOME ARE BORN TO MONEY
THEY NEVER HAD TO SAY SURVIVE
AND OTHERS SWING A NINE POUND HAMMER
JUST TO STAY ALIVE
THERE`S COWBOYS, DRUNKS AND CHRISTIANS
MOSTLY WHITE AND BLACK AND BLUE
THEY`VE ALL DIALED THE PHONE
COLLECT TO HOME
FROM SIXTEENTH AVENUE

(SHORT BREAK SIMILAR TO INTRO)

AH, BUT THEN ONE NIGHT IN SOME EMPTY ROOM
WHERE NO CURTAINS EVER HUNG
LIKE A MIRACLE SOME GOLDEN WORDS
ROLL OFF OF SOMEONE`S TONGUE
AND AFTER YEARS OF BEING NOTHING
THEY`RE ALL LOOKIN` RIGHT AT YOU
AND THEN FOR AWHILE
THEY`LL GO IN STYLE
ON SIXTEENTH AVENUE

HEY, IT LOOKS SO UNEVENTFUL
SO QUIET AND DISCRETE
BUT A LOT OF LIVES WERE CHANGED
DOWN ON THAT LITTLE ONE WAY STREET
`CAUSE THEY WALKED AWAY FROM EVERYTHING
JUST TO SEE A DREAM COME TRUE
SO GOD BLESS THE BOYS
WHO MAKE THE NOISE
ON SIXTEENTH AVENUE

REPEAT AND FADE FIRST VERSE
