Sixth Avenue Heartache

6th Avenue Heartache by the Wallflowers, found on "Bringing Down the Horse"

There's four chords throughout: E - B - F#min - A (Open E, B at 7th, ect)

(You can add open high E & B's as drone notes). Sounds best

"unplugged". I

heard a GREAT version which was without drums and bass. Only vocals,

resonator

slide guitar (try a National Duolian!) for solo fills and background

accordion were playing.

My thanks to Jakob Dylan and the Wallflowers for this one!

SIXTH AVENUE HEARTACHE by The WALLFLOWERS

Sirens ring,shots ring out

A stranger cries, he screams out loud

I had my world strapped against my back

I held my hands, never knew how to act

When the same black line that was drawn on you

Is drawn on me, now its drawn to you

6th avenue heartache

(Easy, ain't it?)

Below me was a homeless man

Singin' songs he new complete

On the steps alone

His guitar in hand

His 50 years sit where he stands

CHORUS 2X

And walking home on those streets

A river winds it moves my feet

Subways steam, like silouttes in dreams

Stood by me, just like moonbeams

CHORUS 2X

I looked out the window, down upon that street

And gone like midnight was that man

But I'd seen his six strings laid against that wall

And all his things well they all looked so small

I got my fingers crossed on a shooting star

Just like me, he just moved ah ah on

CHORUS 2X
