This is one helluva song. Thanks for requesting this!!


G  G/F  Em  D  G


         G                                D              G      G/F# 
From the corners of the country, from the cities and the farms 
     Em                 C               G                 D
With years and years of living tucked up underneath their arms
     Em             C                  G                C  
They walk away from everything just to see a dream come true 
       G        G/F#    Em       D       C    D  G         
So God bless the boys who make the noise on 16th Avenue



Same chord progression throughout song

With a million dollar spirit and an old flattop guitar 
They drive to town with all they own in a hundred dollar car
'Cause one time someone told them 'bout a friend of a friend they knew 
Who owns, you know, a studio on 16th Avenue

Now some were born to money they've never had to say "Survive" 
And others swing a 9 pound hammer just to stay alive
There's cowboys, drunks, and Christians mostly white and black and blue 
They've all dialed the phone collect to home from 16th Avenue

G  G/F  Em  D  G

Ah, but then one night in some empty room where no curtains ever hung 
Like a miracle some golden words rolled off of someone's tongue
And after years of being nothing they're all looking right at you 
And for a while they'll go in style on 16th Avenue

It looked so uneventful, so quiet and discreet 
But a lot of lives where changed down on that little one way street
'Cause they walk away from everything just to see a dream come true 
So God bless the boys who make the noise on 16th Avenue

G  G/F  Em  D  G

Repeat 1st verse and fade
