Intro: Em C X4
verse 1:
Em C
My father once told this to me, Boston's gritty history
Em C
Another ruthless battle in a useless holy war
Em C
Handed down discrepancies and tensions that'll never ease
Em C
One early afternoon on broad street, it blew up down there for sure
G D C
Broad street's just not broad enough and you just don't love God enough
G D C
And if that isn't odd enough we've taken too much crap
G D C
You've pushed us round the sod enough, we've scrapped and rapped and jawed enough
G D C
Poked, provoked and prod enough, something's gonna snap
BREAK: Em C X2
verse 2:
Em C
The Boston fire fighting volunteers, on their way to fight a fire somewhere
Em C
Met a funeral procession proceeding way too slow
Em C
A brownstone burns out of control, we need to lay to rest this soul
Em C
Loggerheads on broad street, eye to eye and toe to toe
G D C
Broad street's just not broad enough and you just don't love God enough
G D C
And if that isn't odd enough we've taken too much crap
G D C
You've pushed us round the sod enough, we've scrapped and rapped and jawed enough
G D C
Poked, provoked and prod enough, something's gonna snap
Chorus:
