Sixth Avenue Heartache

6TH AVENUE HEARTACHE by the Wallflowers, from "Bringing Down the Horse".

Transcription by Dave Poch (I am not responsible for any of the

following, use at your

discretion!)

I play it in a different key than the recorded version: (E as opposed to F?)

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

(You can add open high E & B as drone notes). The original, if you like

would be

F, C, Gmin and B flat, just capo at the first fret and finger the chords

as shown.

Play a full barre on the F#min if easier.

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

CHORUS: (add harmony vocal)

When the same black line that was drawn on you

Is drawn on me, now its drawn to you

6th avenue heartache, aaaaaahhhhhyyy

(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

The river winds they move my feet

Subway 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 string 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 aahhhaaa on

CHORUS 2X
