Intro: Fa    Lam   
 
     Fa
I was  bruised and battered I couldn't tell what I felt 
     Lam
I was  unrecognizable to myself 
      Fa
saw my  reflection in a window and didn't know my own face
          Lam
oh brother  are you gonna leave me wasting like this on the 
             Sib           Fa/La      Do
streets of Philadelphia
 
        Fa
I walked  the avenue 'til my legs felt like stone
       Lam
I heard  voices of friends vanished and gone
          Fa
At night I  hear the blood in my veins 
       Lam
just as  black and whispery as the rain on the 
             Sib            Fa/La     Do
streets of Philadelphia
  
   Sib                        Rem
   Ain't no angel gonna greet me
 Sib                         Fa
   It's just you and I my friend
 Lam                         Sib         
   and my clothes don't fit me no more   
Do
I walked a  thousand miles just to slip this skin
 
 Fa
The night is falling, I'm lying awake
     Lam
I can  feel my self fading away
    Fa
so receive me brother with your fateless kiss or
       Lam
will we  leave each other alone like this on the 
             Sib            Fa/La     Do
streets of Philadelphia.
 
Sib     Fa/La    Do (ad libitum, sfumando).
