These are Streets Of Minneapolis chords by Bruce Springsteen for Piano and Ukulele.
[Intro]
C
[Verse]
C
Through the winter’s ice and cold,
F C
down Nicollet Avenue,
F C
a city aflame fought fire and ice,
G
'neath an occupier’s boots.
C
King Trump’s private army
F
from the DHS, guns belted
C
to their coats,
F C
came to Minneapolis to enforce
G C
the law, or so their story goes.
[Verse]
C
Against smoke and rubber bullets,
F C
in the dawn’s early light,
F C
citizens stood for justice,
their voices ringing through
G Gsus4
the night.
C
And there were bloody footprints
F C
where mercy should have stood,
F
And two dead left to die on
C
snow-filled streets,
G C
Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
[Chorus]
F
Oh our Minneapolis,
I hear your voice, singing
C
through the bloody mist.
F
We’ll take our stand for
this land, and the stranger
C
in our midst.
F
Here in our home they killed
C
and roamed, in the winter of ’26,
C
We’ll remember the names of
those who died, on the streets
G C
of Minneapolis.
[Verse]
C
Trump’s federal thugs beat up
F C
on his face and his chest,
F C
then we heard the gunshots,
and Alex Pretti lay in
G
the snow, dead.
C
Their claim was "self defense, sir,
F C
just don’t believe your eyes",
F
It’s our blood and bones and these
C
whistles and phones against
G C
Miller and Noem’s dirty lies
[Chorus]
F
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your
C
voice, crying through the bloody mist.
C
We’ll remember the names of those
G C
who died, on the streets of Minneapolis.
[solo]
F C G C
[Verse]
C
Now they say they’re here to
uphold the law, but they
F C
trample on our rights.
C F C
If your skin is black or brown
my friend, you can be questioned
G Gsus4
or deported on sight.
C
In our chants of "ICE out now!",
F C
our city’s heart and soul persists,
C F C
Through broken glass and bloody
G C
tears, on the streets of Minneapolis.
[Chorus]
F
Oh our Minneapolis,
I hear your voice singing
C
through the bloody mist.
F
Here in our home they killed
C
and roamed, In the winter of ’26.
F
We’ll take our stand for this land,
C
and the stranger in our midst!
C
We’ll remember the names of
those who died, on the
G C
streets of Minneapolis,
C
We’ll remember the names of
those who died on the
G C
streets of Minneapolis!
