From the recording Come On In
Lyrics
Schenectady
CAPO on 2nd Fret (Key of D)
C F
We’ve been rotting in bars
G
Looking out at the cars
C
As they come barreling through
C F
And they’re wise not to stop
G
Cause it don’t take a lot
C
To get its talons in you
C F
I see people go crazy
G
Get lazy when their life
C
Ain’t got nothing to lose
C F
You’re better off dyin
Then whining
G C
Cause this towns got too many of you
C
Oh Schenectady
F G C
I’ve been waiting so long for you to comfort
F G
But that boy has moved on
Am F
Oh I can’t escape the past, no
Am F
And I won’t forget the truth, no
F
Schenectady
G C
I am you
C
Good men go down
F
While the evil get crowned
G C
No there ain’t no reason at all
C F
We got cops doing lines
G
While beating their wives
C
Claiming their the law
C F
Won’t be long before legends are born
G
To be lifting this
C
century long curse
C F
So if you born in this town
G
No need to look down
C
Cause life don’t get any worse
C
Oh Schenectady
F G C
I’ve been waiting so long for you to comfort
F G
But that boy has moved on
Am F
Oh I can’t escape the past, no
Am F
And I won’t forget the truth, no
F
Schenectady
G C
I am you
C
Oh Schenectady
F G C
I’ve been waiting so long for you to comfort
F G
But that boy has moved on
Am F
Oh I can’t escape the past, no
Am F
And I won’t forget the truth, no
F
Schenectady
G C
I am you
