[Verse 1]
D
Down and out in the city
D
Won't you give a boy a break
D
Juvenile on trial before committee
                 C    D  N.C. A
Taken all he can take

[Chorus]
A                       D            Dsus4 D
But the king shall have his vengeance
A                  D   Dsus4 D
 Especially on the poor
A                   D             Dsus4 D
 Some say preaching to convert him
A               D  N.C.
 Me I'm not too sure

[Bridge]
D                G              D
Spring she comes and spring she teases
G         D             G      D
Brings summer winds and summer breezes
G                 D    G               D
Blow through your hair till autumn leaves us
G           D          G             D
When autumn leaves us, oh how winter freezes

[Verse 2]
A             G            D
And the child is still breathing
A                     G               D              A
With the beating of a heart (with the beating of the heart)
A               G
Some say we are equal
A                   D  N.C.
Some a million miles apart
