Hate Street Dialogue

Transcribed by Rob Otto

Dm               F
Woman please be gone
       G                     Bb   A7
You've stayed here much too long
Dm                  F
Don't you wish that you could cry
G              Bb      A7
Don't you wish I would die
Dm           F
Seamy seesaw kids
G           Bb      A7
Child women on the skids
Dm                      F
The dust will choke you blind
    G          Bb        A7 
The lust will choke your mind

Chorus: 

Dm (throughout)
I hit the floor one kick no more
The pig and hose have set me free
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree

Dm             F
The inner city birthed me
    G            Bb      A7
The local pusher nursed me
Dm              F
Cousins make it on the street
     G           Bb         A7
They marry every trick they meet
  Dm                  F
A dime a dollar, it's all the same
       G               Bb        A7
When a man comes in to bust your game
    Dm                  F
The turn key comes, his face a grin
G                   Bb   A7
Locks the cell, I'm in again

Repeat Chorus
