[Db] [A]
[C] [A]
[C] [A] I saw a rainbow stretch across the ocean, scratch the big apple
[D] [A] So I took a bite, ran to kiss the light, but she bit me for head
I jumped across the ocean, and the big apple, so I took a bite
[D] [A] She's eating me with her taste, flavor so to waste, stab me in the back
[Eb] Bell's Kitchen is [A] a DMC, I ain't never coming back, no
Bell's Kitchen is a DMC, I [C] ain't never [D] coming [A] back, child
[Dm]
[D] [Am] Pressure never stops, pressure never drops, laying in God's pride
[D] [A] Said it was a crime, said it was a pity, no one even cried
[Am] Pressure never stops, pressure never drops, laying in God's [D] pride
Said it was a crime, said it was a pity, no one [Am] even cried, cried, cried
Oh, Hell's Kitchen [A] is a crazy place, I'm never coming back, oh no, no
Hell's Kitchen is a crazy place, [F] I'm never [D] coming back

classy ocean, man, I beg your pardon, sir, I took a bow
She teased me with her taste, to play my songs away, she's [C] very ill at back
[Eb] [D] Hell's Kitchen is a crazy place, [Eb] [D] I'm never coming back, no, no, [Eb] no
Hell's [Am] Kitchen is a DMC, [F] I ain't never

I'm shooting down on the hit now, [Bb] New York City
