Chords for My Petersburg - Anastasia Original Broadway Cast Recording

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ I grew up [F] on the sly _
In [Em] the gutters and [Am] the streets [C] of Petersburg _
[G] Just a kid [F] on the fly _ _
[Em] Getting [Am] good at getting by [A#] in Petersburg _
_ _ _ _ [G] [A] I've bartered for a blanket, [D] stolen for my bread
[F#m] Learned to take my [A] chances and [D] use my head
A Russian rat is [F#m] clever, clever or [A] he ends [B] up _ dead
_ Boils down [A] to there are some who survive, some who [B] don't
Some give up, some give in
Me, I won't, black and blue
Welcome to my [A] Petersburg _ _ _
[D] _ _ [E] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ Standing here [F] you can [C] see
[A] From the spires to the [Cm] piers of [G] Petersburg
_ I'd be [C] down on that quay
[G] Selling stolen souvenirs [A#] of Petersburg _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] Palace is above, [D] _ alleyways below
[F#m] Funny when a [Am] city is all [B] you know [A] how
Even when you [F#m] hate it, something [A] in you loves [B] it so
_ _ _ That's where I learned my stuff
[A] In some rough company
[B] There's the boy growing up
Who was me, all I've been, all I'll be _
_ _ We [D#] can do what we're told
We [Dm] can go [A#] where we're led
But I learned from my [Cm] father to see [F] what's ahead
[G] There's nothing here to [A] hold me, no one that I [G] owe
Funny how a boy can grow
_ [A] Funny how a city tells you when it's time [B] to go _ _
[F#] _ Boils down to there are some [A] who have walls yet [B] to climb
You and I [C#] on the [F#m] fly, just [Bm] in time
But tonight there's a [B] sky and [C#m] quite a view
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ [B] Welcome _ [A] to _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ my Petersburg _ _
[D] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
