[Bm]
[G] Down on [C] Poverty [G] Street, names don't mean a [D] thing.
The clock [C] doesn't [G] chime, and the bells [D] they don't ring.
And the masks [C] some call [G] faces are withered [C] and black.
When you look down [Bm] this road, it's [Am] too late to turn [D] back.
[G] [C]
[D] Down on [E] Poverty Street, [G]
the days [D] they are long.
And you start [C] wondering where [G]
and to who [D] you belong.
But there's no sense [C] in [G] wondering, cause I think you [C] will find
That by all [Bm] of the masters [Am] you've been left far [D] behind.
[G] [C] [D] I can't move [C] my [G] feet from the place that [D] they stand.
I'm chained to [C] this coffin [G] by the master's [D] command.
So I sit [C] here [G] alone, till my life is [C] complete.
Till death comes [Bm] and takes me [Am] from [D] Poverty Street.
