streets of philadelphia chords
bruce springsteen

F Am 2x *

F
i was bruised and battered ,

and i couldn’t tell what i felt
Am
i was unrecognizable , to myself
F
saw my reflection in a window ,

i didn’t know my own face
Am
oh , brother are you gonna leave me wasting away ,
A# A# F C A# F C
on the streets of philadelphia?

F
i walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone ,
Am
i heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
F
at night i could hear the blood in my veins ,
Am
just as black and whispering as the rain ,
A# A# F C A# F C
on the streets of philadelphia

A# Dm
ain’t no angel gonna greet me;
A# F
it’s just you and i my friend
Am A#
and my clothes don’t fit me no more;
C
i walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin

F
the night has fallen , i’m lying awake ,
Am
i can feel myself fading away
F
so receive me brother with your faithless kiss ,
Am
or will we leave each other alone like this ,
A# A# F C A# F C
on the streets of philadelphia

A# F C A# F C
