The Street Where You Were Baptised

 
Tabbed by Brian Ree ([email protected]) 
 
This must be one of all-time great songs. Goes something like this folks........ 
 
 
Intro melody 
 
 
 
 
Verse chords 
 
   A   A/G#  A/F#  A 
  
Blue fire through the stratosphere 
Tattooed men sippin tainted beer 
Sid Williams hits the line 
TV flashes the sign of the times 
And Mohammed walks the streets 
Lookin good but talkin cheap 
Mum calls Darling sit still 
Put your feet off the window sill 
 
Chorus: 
 
A              D 
I saw the moon rise 
A               D 
Burning holes in Marys eyes 
A6               D 
While walkin the beat 
A6                  D 
Straight through the heat 
A6           D/F# 
Down on the street 
      D                   E   A 
The street where you were baptised 
  
 
Young eyes thru the Gardeners Road gate 
Junk flies across the gutters gate 
Echos off the concrete floor 
Selling smiles thru the open door 
You flashed a badge across my eyes 
Always saying how you could fly 
As if I ever needed proof 
A spider man in a cowboy suit 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
Bridge: 
 
A          E          D           E 
        Whoa whoa   Whoa whoa    Whoa 
 
C         G         F         G 
 
 
 
Am  G       F 
I heard you stirrin, I heard you cough 
Am   G           F 
Some things you can't wash off,  Like a 
Am    G             F 
cheap red brick and cracked asphalt 
F                       G                     E 
Laces on your boots, the buckle on your belt 
 
 
Run the lighter across your lips 
Ash falls from your finger tips 
It's no rehearsal you gotta get your kicks 
Jab the horse it's only got one trick  
I guess you do whatever you can 
When the boy becomes a man 
When childish dreams flash into hopes 
Then leave you buckled against the ropes 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
I've seen you stumble I've seen you fall 
But theres no time to take it all 
>From every beach to every bar 
Every lonely thought in each second hand car 
The blue flame, the burnt cigarrette  
The pawn ticket and the stolen TV set 
The black cars , the silver crucifix 
the clear tear the pony with the one trick 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
The street where you were baptised 
The street where you were baptised 
The street where you were baptised 
 
Billy is a runaway 
Billy is a runaway 
Billy is a runaway
