D Papa hit him, Mama kissed him
G Made him go to ACatechism
D With the sisters in their black and Gwhite A Asus Asus4 E
D And all the time those city streets
G Were teaching him anoAther kind of Dwisdom
When to run and when to Gfight A Asus Asus4 E
D Up at the playground after school
G Listening to Atales of the prison Bmsystem Bm A G
And those Alawless Davenues G D A Asus Asus4 E
D Dawn on a half darkened Gstreet A Asus Asus4 E
D A child's footsteps reGpeat A Asus Asus4 E
D And something there turns them
G Down those Alawless Davenues G A Asus Asus4 E
D Silent Joe went down so bad
G He was the strongest Afighter the avenues Dhad
Stabbed in the chest--he went down Gswinging A Asus Asus4 E
D Someone from some other part of town
G No one even Aseen it coming Ddown
And you don't hear no church bells Gringing A Asus Asus4 E
And in the Gviolent night the police light
Sweeps across the lots and the Bmyards G
Following those Alawless Davenues G A Asus Asus4 E
D Down on a half darkened Gstreet A Asus Asus4 E
D Armies advance and reGtreat A Asus Asus4 E
D And struggle to take control
G From those Alawless Davenues G A Asus Asus4 E
D Manuelito's sister Rosa
G Ran away with a Asurfer from HerDmosa
Manuelito, cuida a Rosa
G Hay mira Acomo estan las Dcosas! G A Asus Asus4 E
D But who could blame her after she saw
G Every boy Adie who could have gotten Dclose to her
Rosa es joven u solo quiere
G Ver la Abelleza del Dmundo
Manuel said-- "You gotta fight for what you want in this Glife"
Just before they Ashipped him overDseas to 'Nam
Otra guerra sin razon
G Otra guerra sin Afin, sin honor
D And she was fighting to understand
G When they shipped AManuelito's body Bmhome
All she heard was- GoneA moreG shot
Echoing down Alawless Davenues
Hoy aGmigo, tal igual Dcomo aGyer
G La lucha en el Abarrio no Dcambia
Nuestros Ghijos son los que Dhan de cGrecer
G Por ley de la calle, viAviendo entre Dabrazos
Y chinAgazos

D Down on a half darkened Gstreet A Asus Asus4 E
D Fathers' and sons' lives reGpeat A Asus Asus4 E
D And something there turns them
G Down those Alawless Davenues G A Asus Asus4 E
D Down on a half darkened Gstreet (En el Acalor de la calle)
D Down on a half darkened Gstreet (Buscan Avalor en la calle)
D Down on a half darkened Gstreet (Hasta Afinal de la calle)
