Tom : F
(F Am ) nx
F
I was bruised and battered I couldn't tell what I felt
Am
I was unrecognizable to myself
F
saw my reflection in a window and didn't know my own face
Am
oh brother are you gonna leave me wasting IN THE WAY(like this) on the
Bb F/A C
streets of Philadelphia
F
I walked the avenue 'til my legs felt like stone
Am
I heard voices of friends vanished and gone
F
At night I hear the blood in my veins
Am
just as black and whispery as the rain on the
Bb F/A C
streets of Philadelphia
Bb Dm
Ain't no angel gonna greet me
Bb F
It's just you and I my friend
Am Bb C
and my clothes don't fit me no more I walked a
thousand miles just to slip this skin
F
The night is falling, I'm lying awake
Am
I can feel my self fading away
F
so receive me brother with your fateless kiss or
Am
will we leave each other alone like this on the
Bb F/A C
streets of Philadelphia...
