Rogers Park
Album: Harlem River Blues
INTRO: D G
D
This town's dead tonight
G
I got no place to be
G
Moon is hung just right
D
Shine like diamonds on the street
Red light windin' lonesome
It's cuttin' clean thru my heart
In my window, smokey
While the midnight's settling in on Rogers Park
INTRO
I come here with hopes
And I guess I came here with dreams
Now I'm all alone
I can't even get to sleep
So take my heart and break it
And send me back into the pines
I'm tired of lyin' awake
Bm
And I feel like I'm runnin' out of time
CHORUS:
A D
See my dreams before my eyes
G
Shadows on the wall
Bm A D
I think I know a place I can fall
Bm A D
Snowin' in off the lake
G
Punchin' holes in the dark
Bm A D
Through the lonely streets of Rogers Park
SOLO (intro repeated)
It's a shadow voice out bangin' tonight
I hear 'em down in the streets
The corner girls are waitin'
For someone to off for keeps
There ain't no hope in healin'
Ain't no prayer for the poor
All that's lost in stealin' it
Bm
She can't hold me anymore
CHORUS
Bm A D
All through the lonely streets of Rogers Park
INTRO
