G#m
Verse
There's an G#mold shed at the end of an overgrown driveway
And years ago that shed collapsed and fell
Years beC#mfore that there's a withered dog chained up there
I G#msaved him maybe he saved me as well
Now he's D#5gone and I think I've come unC#5done
It's G#mmidnight in the C#mcity of desG#mtruction
Chorus
G#mLa la la la la la la la

G#mLa la la C#mla la la la G#mla
Verse
There's G#mmusic in the air and suites abandoned
They're singing 'cross farm in the evening breeze
But there's C#msomeone in the rows who's unwanted
And G#mnow they cut the faithful from the trees
And the D#5bulldozers move in one by C#5one
And it's G#mmidnight in the C#mcity of desG#mtruction
Chorus

Verse
I lost my G#mguitar my home my hope and my good fortune
I lost my grandfather, two neighbors and my friend
I pray that C#mGod myself will come and drown the president
C#mIf the levees break again
Now we're D#5standing at the crossroads waitin' for C#5instruction
And it's G#mmidnight in the C#mcity of desG#mtruction
Chorus

Verse
There's a G#msecret prison somewhere south of 60
And in that secret prison there is a secret cell
And the C#mprisoners bound and burned, blinded and beaten
Still that G#msecret prisoner keeps his secret well
Turn out the D#5lights cause for one night that's eC#5nough son
It's G#mmidnight in the C#mcity of desG#mtruction
Chorus
