G                                      D/F#  
Things are getting kind of shaky up in Harlem 
C                                   D 
crack-heads are falling through the banisters 
G                           D/F# 
and the articles of college prima donnas 
C                         Bm 
keep me from noticing the flowers 


    Am    D/F# 
But oh my brother,  
        Em                      D/F# 
tell me when will we let it all go? 
G                          Am 
if you prefer to wear your head outside-in 
D/F#                       (D) 
you know you're gonna do a lot of crying 


G         D/F# 
Ohh oh oh oh oh 
      G          D 
Oh oh ohh, oh oh oh ohh 


G                                D/F#  
So you stumble your way into a Mcdonald's 
C                         D 
order a number five, it's criminal 
G                                    D/F#  
Somewhere children are behaving in a garden 
C                        Bm 
fill up the ocean with a thimble 


    Am    D/F# 
But oh my brother, 
       Em                       D/F# 
can we tell all the girls to go home? 
G                          Am 
if you prefer to wear your head outside-in 
D/F#                       (D) 
you know you're gonna do a lot of crying
