Sixth Avenue Heartache

THE WALLFLOWERS

Bringing Down The Horse

I just bought this CD today, but i'm pretty sure the chords are right.

However the lyrics I had to figure out on my own, so don't scream if

they're

a little off, (Jakob can slurr like only a Dylan can [I mean that in a good

way]). Try it with the Gm7 before the Bb and let me know what you think

(bag@cjnetworks.com)

I play it w/capo@3 like D(F) A(C) Em7(Gm7) G(Bb) its easy and sounds

cool.

I saw these guys

in Lawrence KS recently..VERY COOL...like seeing a young

pre-disillusioned(new word) Bob!

THE WALLFLOWERS

6th Avenue heartache

chords by Sam Stewart

updated: Barry A. Gentry aka "bag"

verse I:

 

Sirens ring. shots rang out. A stranger cries screams out loud.

 

I had my world strapped against my back. I held my hands

never knew how to act.

Well the same black line that was drawn on you

was drawn on me and now its drawn me in,

6th avenue heartache

verse II:

Below me was a homeless man.

I'm singing songs I knew complete

On the steps alone his guitar in hand

his 50 years he stood where he stands

 

verse III:

Now I'm walking home on those streets

the river winds move my feet

The subway steam like silhouette in dreams

Stood by me [stood by me] just like moonbeams

 

Verse IV:

Look out the window. Down upon that street

Gone like at midnight Was that man

but I see his six strings

layed against that wall and all his things

they all look so small

I got my fingers crossed on a shooting star

just like me just moved they jusy moved on

chorus: F C G Bb (repeat)

F: x03211

C: x32010

G: 320033

Bb: 11333x

If you have anything to add or change feel free. If you would like to get

in

touch with me you can: samcarla@sowega.net or at my homepage

http://www.america.net/~samcarla ME TOO! Thank you Sam for getting me on

the right track!

the Gm7 thing was a gift from above...it just happened....and seemed

right!?!?

not sure why I can remember lyrics tonight while typing. I sure as hell

can't when I'm singing it!

I dont know how correct it is. The chords sound right though

Ive only got the first verse lyrics, but they're pretty simple.

Appreciate any corrections or suggestions....
