I went down to Duffy`s bar with depression on my mind
F#m |A |D /^A / / |D /^A / / |
Just to blow off a little steam and try to unwind
F#m |A |D |A |
Times were getting tough with no relief in sight

Last straw I lost my job, next straw your life

Born on the south side, got my schoolin` at the pool hall
Saturday night we get back to back, Sunday mornin`, wall to wall
Never seen nothing like it, people jumpin` out of windows and going mad
That`s not half as bad as losin` what you never had

CHORUS

Back in 1929 it was livin` hell
Crime was on the rise when the bottom fell
Keepin` poverty pocket high upon the hill
Back door you lock it, they`ll break it still
