Dm
[Verse 1]
Dm
Well, a cop got away
Dm
With murder today
Bb
Sparked the march
E A
Of the fiery brigade
Dm Dm
How they screamed at the lenses, the lawyers and lights
Bb E A
And they hurled all their curses with all of their might
Bb
And the news
A
Said glad that it's over
Bb
The left-paper rags
E A
Said there goes another
Dm E Gm A
And both sides left the signs with the stacked barricades
Bb A Dm Dm Bb E A
It'll wash it all away when it rains
[Verse 2]
Dm
Well, they came down from high rises
Dm
Mansions, estates
Bb
Downtown into a city
E A
Of catered champagne
Dm
And they laughed and they danced
Dm
And they dined on their steaks
Bb
There were floors to be swept
E A
And bills to be paid
Bb
And the mayor
A
Said glad you came over
Gm
And now what to do
Bb A
With these jailed wild rovers?
Dm E Gm A
All the courts, and confetti, and dumpsters in flames
Bb A Dm
It'll wash it all away when it rains
[Ladadada Part, same chords as verses]

[Verse 3]
Dm
There's a man on the bridge
Dm
Old rust and new paint
Bb
While the marching machine's
E A
Spilling sand by the bay
Dm
Pump's busted again
Dm
For the rivers and trains
Bb
While the choirs all preach
E A
'Bout an earth to be saved
Bb
Don't you know
A
There's no need to worry
Gm
Of the old tale
Bb A
With a beautiful ending
Dm
All the shells
E
And the smoke
Gm Dm
And the hallowed ground paved
Dm
And the scraps
E
And the crumbs
Gm A
And the mess that we made
Dm E Gm A
And I wish that it all would just go away
Bb A
It'll wash it all away
A7 Dm
When it rains
