West Side Street

            Am                    G       C
Through the narrow streets from a crooked home (a crooked home)
       Dm                  C         G
To the parade we run, only blocks to go
Am                         G        C
I'll hold your hand Allie, you hold mine (you hold mine)
             Dm             C      G
Or you'll be lost until the end of time


[Chorus]
F                                C
Allie put out your hand for some candy
F                                         G
Allie pull in some coin on this west side street
     F                          C
This parade it only happens annually
        C               G          C
It only happens in this town of misery
C  C/B


[Verse 2]
Am                      G   C
You and me Allie, we're not afraid (we're not afraid)
     Dm                   C   G
Over time we'll drink and celebrate
    Am              G        C
I'm reminded of the times of old (the times of old)
     Dm                 C        G
Over time this town's a cheerful song
C  C/B


[Verse 3]
Am                      G        C
Dull face inside is the one I've seen (one I've seen)
     Dm                   C         G
Well go on with me, we'll fit their dreams
Am                   G             C
Don't run off Allie, stay close to me
       Dm                     C       G
If you wander off, don't come back to me
C  C/B


[Chorus]
F                                C

     F                          C
This parade it only happens annually
        C               G          C
It only happens in this town of misery

[Verse 4]
    Am              G        C
The marching band's familiar beat
    Dm                 C      G
Has us all dancing out on the street
        Am                        G         C
There's sweat in my eyes from the scorching sun
    Dm                   C       G
Oh, I feel music raining down on me
C  C/B


[Chorus]
F                                C
