Death to My Hometown Bruce Springsteen
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN: DEATH TO MY HOMETOWN (Revised)
From the Album: Wrecking Ball
Capo on 3rd fret
[C](C[F]hant)
[C]Oh no cannonball did fly, no rifles cut us [F]down
[C]No bombs fell from the sky, no blood did soak the [F]ground
No [C]powder flash blinded the eye, no deathly thunder [F]sounded
But [C]just as sure as the hand of God, they brought [C]death to [G]my home[C]town
[C]They brought [C]death to [G]my home[C]town, boys
[C](C[F]hant)
[C]No shells ripped the evening sky, no cities burning [F]down
No armies [C]stormed the shores for which we'd die no dictators were [F]crowned
[C]I awoke from a quiet night, I never heard a [F]sound
Ma[C]rauders raided in the dark and brought [C]death to [G]my home[C]town, boys
[C]Death to [G]my home[C]town
[C](C[F]hant)

They des[F]troyed our families' factories [C]and they took our homes
They [F]left our bodies on the plains, the [C]vultures picked our [G]bones
So [C]listen up, my sonny boy, be ready for when they [F]come
[C]For they'll be returning sure as the rising [F]sun
Now [C]get yourself a song to sing and sing it 'til you're [F]done
Yeah, [F]sing it [C]hard and [F]sing it [C]well
Send the [F]robber [C]barons [F]straight to [C]hell
The [F]greedy [C]thieves who [F]came a[C]round
And [F]ate the [C]flesh of every[F]thing they [C]found
Whose [F]crimes have [C]gone un[F]punished [C]now
Who [F]walk the [C]streets as [F]free men [C]now
Oh they brought [C]death to [G]our home[C]town, boys
[C]Death to [G]our home[C]town, boys
[C]Death to [G]our home[C]town, boys
[C]Death to [G]our home[C]town, whoa!
[C](C[F]hant)
