Chords for All For The USA/Dark River, Joel Thomas Hynes & The Thousand Night All-Stars, Ron Hynes Benefit Show

Onto the streets of New York town, they pour iron and tide
To build the concrete and the steel up to the New York skies _
Up to the New York skies
_ _ _ Can you read and write?
Can you drink and fight?
Can you take the nights alone?
You can build a life for a child and a wife, oh, far away from home
Oh, far away from _ home
_ [D#] Go on, tip your hat to the Bowery girl, she'll stay you from the cold _
She'll lend a tender loving ear, every story told, every story told _ _
Now them will freeze, them will fall, will crawl home in dismay
Some curse the hand of God [G] above, break right down and [A] pray
Break right down [N] and pray _ _
Have you got the hand?
Have you got the heart?
Have you got the cold steel nerve?
You can rant and roar on the New York floor and get what you deserve
Oh, you'll get what you _ deserve
_ _ _ [Cm] With the 20th century still in bloom, in fair Conception Bay
Oh, the world turned round and men were bound
Off for the USA
_ _ _ Off for the _ USA _
_ _ _ _ If
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [A] _ _
[C] you find [Am] a river [Dm] on your _ forest [D] map
You [G] could be just driving past
You [F] could just live it [G] like that
It [C] seems to me when [Am] the highway [D] and the dance hall [Dm] burned down
That [C] was the last hope [G] for me and [Dm] that town
_ [G] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[Dm] With the sun in my eyes [G] and I followed the dark river
[F] _ _ [G] The sky _ [C] helped me [Am] to place
[Dm] Wasn't far out of sight
For [C] I dreamed of [G] those dark [D] river nights
We [G] _
_ [C] _ danced, we [Am]
danced, we [D] danced
_ [Dm] _
Then [G] we drove out the dark [F] fog
We drove [G] by a town, [C] we never [Em] stayed so late
[Am] The world [Fm] got around
_ _ [C] Dark river [G] was just a [Am] small town
[E] _ Dark [C] river [G] was just a [C] small town
[A] _ _ _ [D] _
But [Bm] the dark river [Em] laid on its flank
[A] And with everything gone
_ [G] You could see [A] a billion men
[D] And the roads all [Bm] of the day
Tell me [Em] what can you say
[D] About everything [A] to _ _ [Em] me
_ [B] _ _ _ [D] _
If you find a [Bm] river on [Em] your forest map
You [A] could be just driving past
You [G] could just live [B] it like that
It seems [D] to me when the highway and [Bm] _ _ [Em] the dance hall burned down
That [D] was the last hope [A] for me and [Em] that town
_ [B] _ [D] Where we danced [Bm] and we danced
Till [Em] the moon went down
And [A] then we drove out the dark fog
[G] The water was [A] gone now
We [D] never stayed [F#m] so late
[Bm] The world [Gm] got around _ _ _
[D] Dark river [A] was just a [Em] small town
_ [E] _ _
[D] Dark river was [A] just a small [Em] town
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
