Street Corner Preacher Amos Lee
No capo
*= One strum
Verse:
He got a [D]new mercy, a new grace, S[Cadd9]treet corner preacher with the angry
Em7 G*
face, He got two years off, for good behavior , Back in the neighborhood
working for the savior,
That's t[D]wo old ladies and a junkie now, now He can [Cadd9]see for sure that his
work is cut out, Though he w[Em7]alks through the shadows he won't fear his
G*
neighbor, Back in the neighborhood working for the savior,
Chorus:
[D]Bau bau, buh do de da, De da de, [Cadd9]bau bau, buh do de da,de da de, [Em7]Bau
Bau, , buh do de dah, de da de, b[G]au bau, ya ya
Verse:
Well, he under[D]stands the need for living it large, But it's [Cadd9]hard to get a job
with a felony charge, Now he's w[Em7]orking in a hospital washing dishes,
G*
Walking through the fields of the lost inhibitions,
There is d[D]eath every breath , a new benediction, to [Cadd9]save the liver from
awaking, death is his conviction, The [Em7]eyes of man, well he seeks no
G* D
favor, back in the neighborhood working for the savior
Bridge:
But there's a [Cadd9]whole lotta t[G]rouble all ar[D]ound, E[Cadd9]very night the s[G]ame old siren
[D] Sound, There's a [Cadd9]whole lotta [G]trouble all [D]around, C[Cadd9]hildren soldiers i[G]n this
battle grou[D]nd
Chorus
Verse:
Well, a [D]new sun and a second chance, He u[Cadd9]nbolts the door and hops over
Em7 G*
the fence, Young woman with a baby that her daddy gave her, back in the
neighborhood working for the savior,
But al[D]l around the war rages on, [Cadd9]burnt out houses with the front door gone,
Em7 G*
Well his faith is his fountain, his love is his labor, Back in the neighborhood
working for the savior, [D]
[Cadd9]Whoa, [Em7]yeah, [G]ahh
Chorus
Ending:
He got a n[D]ew mercy, a new grace, S[Cadd9]treet corner preacher with the angry
Em7 G*
face, He got two years off for good behavior, back in the neighborhood
D*
working for the savior
