"Dream Street" by John Gorka 1990

Capo 4nd fret

          320005
Intro:  D  G(add9)  D  G(add9)  D  Bm  G  A  (use the Gadd9 when it feels right)

          D                         G(add9)
I saw the champ running down by the river

         D                            G(add9)
With his trainer and his stretch limousine

  D                                Bm     
I don't recall the year but it was late in his career

            G                            A
When he was featured in those glove magazines


They never leave the ring until it's too late
They never seem to quit in their prime
I guess you take it as a given that a champion is driven
So he can always win one more time


Chorus:
             Em       F#m       G 
So there's a new reservation on Dream Street

       Em           F#m       G       
With a room with no view of before

         Bm                              F#m 
It takes years for some to check-in, but Dream Street will beckon

             G                           A
Till they're mumbling their names at the door


     Bm                       F#m
Some do it out of pride, some do it for the dough

     G                                     A
Some do 'cause it's the only thing they're ever gonna know

   Bm                         F#m
Promoters take the money, the fighters take the pain

     G                          A                Bm  A G      Bm  A G 
They find a new sucker and they do it again, whoa....     whoa...


         D                      G
From the time before he won the title

         D                       G
Till the referee stopped his last fight

D                     Bm
Oh, I swear there was greatness there

           G                        A
Till those younger guys put out the light
 

D                    G...
Now he's in his ever after
With money to last all of his days
Oh but the price makes you shiver, fate's an indian-giver
She giveth and she taketh away


             Em       F#m       G 
So there's a new reservation on Dream Street

       Em           F#m       G       
With a room with no view of before

         Bm                              F#m 
It takes years for some to check-in, but Dream Street will beckon

             G                           A          Bm  A G      Bm  A G 
Till they're mumbling their names at the door,  whoa....     whoa...

Bm              A      G      
Dream Street is calling, Larry

Bm              A       G
Dream Street is calling, Joe

Bm              A          G
Dream Street is calling, Muhammad

Bm              A      G
Dream Street is calling, Yo

Bm              A      G
Dream Street is calling...
