Sin City

1 5 1 4

This old town’s filled with sin it’ll swallow you in

1 5

If you’ve got some money to burn

1 5

Take it home, right away

1 4

You’ve got three years to pay

1 5 1

But Satan is waiting his turn

4

This old earthquake’s gonna

5 1

Leave me in the poorhouse

4 1 5

It seems like this whole town’s insane

4 5 1 4

On the thirty first floor, a gold plated door

1 5 1

Won’t keep out the Lord’s burning rain

Our friend came around, tried to clean up this town

His ideas made some people mad

He trusted his crowd, so he spoke right out loud

And they lost the best friend they had
