The New Pornographers - Streets of Fire
From: Twin Cinema (2005)
This is one of the most beautiful songs by the NP. I hope I got it right...
[E]Come on, come out of th[F#m]e rain. You're not o[E]ppressed you're just too learned. [A]
[E]I took the book, I lit the [F#m]page - your sab[E]batical was burning. [A]
[A]Sweet sweet sweet sweet fire in the str[E]eet, let's sully every st[F#m]age.[A][B7]
[A]Lick my lips, twist [E]my hips, but Contessa.... [F#m][A]
I a[B7]lready did. [A][E][F#m][A][B7]
[E]Some things work but me I choose t[F#m]o lose my skin in the[E] dirt.[A]
This whiske[E]y priest he burned the c[F#m]hurch to keep his girls alive. [E][A]
[A]Sweet sweet sweet sweet fire in the stre[E]et, let's sully every sta[F#m]ge we meet.[A][B7]
A E F#m (stop)
Lick my lips, twist my hips, but Contessa.....
I already did. [A][E][F#m][A][B7]
A E F#m A B7 (X as long as it takes). Enjoy! B.C.
