G
Burning up your hometown streets could
Am
Set a fire for the world to catch
G                            Am
Burn it up, no need to reconcile
G
Come and see me, I'm your west end
Am
Perfect stranger, in America
G                                Am
Lady on that state's so full of style

Chorus:
  D                     C
Stand up, turn around, beat it out
                  Bm Am
You gotta sound, Joe
  D
Swing low and now I know
      C                         Bm Am
It's hard to let a brother go, Joe

The many boots that you have laced could
Tell a story, comin' night and day
No one said that you would need a crowd
The many lands that you have graced could
Make a case that there is no better make
And now I only see your face in clouds

Chorus - x2

C    Bm Am
Tell me so
C  Bm  Am
Do you know
C    Bm Am
Does it show
C    Bm  Am
When I'm low

And then again, when I feel your love from
Far away I think of yesterday
I see a family we know how to smile
There comes a time when you must rock
Another world and we will get along
There comes a time when we will walk that mile

Chorus - x2
