_ _ _ _ _ [F] Will you [Cm] walk us _ _ _ [Fm] uptown? _
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] And wherever _ you go, you know we [F#] will follow.
Will you walk us _ _ uptown?
[Fm] _
Stand in [G#] the light [Cm] of your new killing [F#] ground,
[Cm] _ and we won't make a _ sound. _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ [Cm] Except to sing [B] our [Cm] sorrow.
Will you walk us _ uptown?
[Fm] While our tears run in _ [Cm] torrents,
through _ suffering [F#] _ [Cm] silence, we'll pray for some [C] _ [Cm] solace.
Will you wash away our sins,
[F] and across fire [G#] and cross currents,
[Cm] use it across your [F#] fingers,
[Cm] and take out some [C] insurance?
[D#] _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ No matter [A#] what the _ _ _ [D#] price,
_ [Fm] _ _
_ it's your own [A#] _
paradise.
_ _ _ Will [Cm] you walk us _ _ _ [Fm] uptown? _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] Will you walk us [F#] _ [Cm] uptown? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
So hard to sink in, [Fm] so hard to [G#] re-flood,
_ _ [Cm] some _ _ [F#] scooped [Cm] gold from the dirt in your [F#] _ _ [Cm] gutter.
A swallow of the earth [Fm] pouring into your [G#] mouth,
as the buried [F#] is upright, [Cm] _ saying _ _ [F#] everything's [Cm] alright.
Will you walk us uptown?
_ Like [Fm] some said that you could,
[C] live with feast on your [F#] _ [Cm] flesh,
and _ drink down your [F#] blood.
[Cm] _ Will you haunt down that _ black,
[Fm] and dishonor that [G#] vow,
cause [C] it _ [Cm] must [F#] not _ [Cm] change its color.
Will [F#] _ [Cm] you _ walk us _ _ uptown?
[Fm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
_ No matter [A#] what the _ price,
_ _ [D#] _ _ [Fm] _
each [F] question being cornered,
[A#] right at our _ _ paradise.
[Cm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ [G#] _ _ [Cm] Will you walk us _ _ _ _ [F] uptown?
[Fm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ [Cm] Will you walk us uptown?
_ _ [Fm] Let's always _ assume,
[Cm] that you're partly _ [D] divine,
[Cm] and _ _ partly _ [F#] human.
[Cm] You're the king of our heart,
you're [Fm] the clown with a drum.
[Cm] Will you walk us uptown?
[D] _ _ [Cm] If we promise not [F#] to walk,
[D#] will [Cm] you walk us uptown?
_ Will [Fm] you gather us [G#] near,
[Cm] _ as _ cowards [F#] flee [Cm] and _ traitors sing?
[F#] _ _ [Cm] Keep a red flag flying,
keep [Fm] a blue flag as well,
[Cm] and a white flag [F#] in case [Cm] it all _ goes to hell. _ _ _ _ _
