Across 110th Street Bobby Womack
intro
[Bm7]Ooh [Em7]Ooh-[F#m7]ooh
[Bm7]Ooh [Em7]ooh [F#m7]ooh Ooh-ooh
verse
[Em7]I was the third brother of five
[Bm7]Doing what i could to survive
[Em7]I'm not saying what i did was alright
[Bm7]Trying to break out of the ghetto is a day to day fight
[Em7]Been down so long, getting up didn't cross my mind,
[Bm7]I knew there was a better way of life that I was just trying to find.
[Em7]You don't know what you'll do until you're put under pressure,
[Bm7]Across 110th Street is a hell of a tester.
chorus
[G]Ac[A]ross 110th Street,
[F#7]Pimp[Bm7]s trying to catch a woman that's weak
[G]Ac[A]ross 110th Street,
[F#7]Push[Bm7]ers won't let the junkie go free.
[G]Ac[A]ross 110th Street,
[F#7]Woma[Bm7]n trying to catch a trick on the street.
[G]Ac[A]ross 110th Street,
[F#7]You can find it all in the street.
[Bm7]Ooh [Em7]Ooh-[F#m7]ooh
[Bm7]I go[Em7]t on[F#m7]e more thing I'd like to y'all about right now.
(same chords as verse)
Hey brother, there's a better way out.
Snorting that coke, shooting that dope man you're copping out.
Take my advice, it's either live or die.
You've got to be strong, if you want to survive.
The family on the other side of town,
Would catch hell without a ghetto around.
In every city you find the same thing going down,
Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town.
