Sixto Rodriguez - Hate Street Dialogue
[Intro]
Dm F G Bb A Dm
[Verse]
Dm FWoman please be gone
G Bb AYou've stayed here much too long
Dm FDon't you wish that you could cry
G Bb ADon't you wish I would die
Dm FSeamy, seesaw kids
G Bb AChildwoman on the skids
Dm FThe dust will choke you blind
G Bb AThe lust will choke your mind
[Chorus]
DmI kiss the floor, one kick no more
DmThe pig and hose have set me free
DmI've tasted hate street's hanging tree
DmI've tasted hate street's hanging tree
[Verse]
Dm FThe inner city birthed me
G Bb AThe local pusher nursed me
Dm FCousins make it in the street
G Bb AMarry every trick they meet
Dm FA dime a dollar they're all the same
G Bb AWhen a man comes in to bust your game
Dm FThe Turn key comes his face a grin
G Bb ALocks the cell I'm in again
[Chorus]
DmI kiss the floor, one kick no more
DmThe pig and hose have set me free
DmI've tasted hate street's hanging tree
DmI've tasted hate street's hanging tree
