A E Am/C C Dm


[Verse 1]
A   E         Am/C     C
 Tourists stumble down Broadway
Dm
Cumberland keeps claiming bodies
A    E        Am/C     C
 All our best memories were bought
Dm
and then turned into apartments
A    E         Am/C    C        Dm
 The club with all the hardcore shows
                         A
Now just a grayscale Domino's
    E        Am/C C         Dm
The churches over-flow each Sunday, greedy Sunday morning


[Pre-Chorus]
A E Am/C C
Dm                       A E Am/C C
  Gift shop in the lobby
Dm                            A E Am/C C
  Act like God ain't watching
Dm                           A E Am/C C
Kill the soul, turn a profit
Dm             N.C.
What lives on? Southern Gotham


[Chorus]
F                      Dm
 I'm the one who still loves your ghost
    Am
I reanimate your bones
          E
With my belief
F                      Dm
 I'm the one who still loves your ghost
    Am                 
I reanimate your bones
             E             A E Am/C C Dm
'Cause I'm a true believer


[Verse 2]
A     E      Am/C       C      Dm
 They put up chain-link fences underneath the biggest bridges
A     E       Am/C      C          Dm
 They pose in Christmas cards with guns as big as all the children
A     E        Am/C  C      Dm                                  A
 They say that Jesus is the way, but then they gave him a white face
   E          Am/C    C       Dm
So they don't have to pray to someone they deem lesser than them


[Pre-Chorus]
A E Am/C C
Dm                          A   E Am/C C
  The South will not rise again
Dm                         A E Am/C C
  Till it's paid for every sin
Dm                         A E Am/C C
Strange fruit, hard bargain
Dm                N.C.
  Till the roots, Southern Gotham


[Chorus]
F                      Dm
 I'm the one who still loves your ghost
    Am
I reanimate your bones
          E
With my belief
F                      Dm
 I'm the one who still loves your ghost
    Am                 
I reanimate your bones
             E
'Cause I'm a true believer

F                      Dm
 I'm the one who still loves your ghost
    Am
I reanimate your bones
          E
With my belief
F                      Dm
 I'm the one who still loves your ghost (Ah-ah)
    Am                 
I reanimate your bones
             E
'Cause I'm a true believer (Ah-ah-ah)
