wrong side of town

verse 1

E B7 E

when the sun shines on the wrong side of town

A B7 E

the heroes ride their horses in the rain

C#m B

the horses have no quarrels

C#m A

towards villains with no morals

E B7 E

yet they quiver at the heroes spurs jingling sound

verse 2

when the sun shines on the wrong side of town

the worms sing softly to the birds

and the women with their bruises

polish the weapon he uses

’cause dirt and grime will spread the disease around

verse 3

when the sun shines on the wrong side of town

my enemies are praised for their crimes

and the judges and the priests

fall down on their knees

while i lay in my blood on the ground

verse 4

when the sun shines on the wrong side of town

i wake up with the light in my face

and i look across to the dark

and see children sleeping in the park

i smile while i pull the shade down
