Detroit 67 by Sam Roberts
Detroit 67
Tuning:EADGBE
Intro: C F C F C F G F (x4)
C
I went walking, at street level, Feeling strange, and disheveled
F
Past the abattoir and the glory holes Like a film noire,
in the starring role
C
To the side streets, kept my nose clean
Tasted beautiful, tasted obscene Singing,
C F C F C F G F C
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
F C F C F G F
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
C
This is Detroit, see the skyline
A commotion on the assembly line
F
Raise a glass to the Ambassador
As she's moving you to the dance floor
G
Does anyone here tonight remember those times?
Can anyone here tonight just tell me what they felt like?
In The Space do a C Chord with an added note on the third fret
of the high E string.
Am Em
So many years, so many lives
Am G C F C F C F G F
These are the streets where they collide
Am Em
From Jimmy Hoffa to Cadillac
Am G F
Some look ahead, I'm going back
F
Cause I'm just looking for some sounds
To ease the vice that squeezes us every day
Fill With C Chord With added note earlier
C
This was Motown, this was New France
Where the Chippewa did the firedance
F
That was long ago
This is here and now
But the memory still remains somehow Singing
C F C F C F G F C
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
F C F C F G F
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
C
I can't tell you how this old story ends
I can't touch you now, like they did back then
F
Past the child's play with the jump rope
Hear the gun play, it's a tightrope
G
Does anyone here tonight remember those times?
Can anyone here tonight just tell me what they felt like?
G
Does anyone here tonight remember those times?
Somebody call the riot police, there's trouble down on 12th Street
Ending: Either C F C F C F G F (x8)
or Special C Chord you saw earlier for the rest of the song.
