I see faces and traces of home back [D] in New York City
So
[C]
[G]

Just [G] like what you heard Uh huh
Well [D] I've had to see some action
And [C] it gets into [G] my [C] blood
[G] Uh huh
They [D] call me the trailblazer
The red electric blazer
[G] I'm a vision in a chain gang
You don't believe in pain
[D] Cause we're only as strong
Cause we're only as strong
As [G] the weakest [C] link
In the [G]
chain
