Down Nicollet Avenue

Verse 2 (repeat tabs):

Against smoke and rubber bullets

In the dawn's early light

Citizens stood for justice

Their voices ringing through the night

And there were bloody footprints

Where mercy should have stood

And two dead, left to die on snow-filled streets

Alex Pretti and Renee Good


Chorus:

 7    7     7   7   7   7  7   -8    7       7

Oh our Minneap’lis I hear your voice

   7    7        7         7   -7  -6     6

Singing through the bloody mist

  7        7      7      7     -8    7       7

We'll take our stand for this land

   7    7      7    7    -7  -6      6

And the stranger in our midst

   7     7     7    7        7      -8       7        7

Here in our home they killed and roamed

7    7   7    7    7  -7  -6    6

In the winter of twenty-six

  6       6  -6  6     6        6     6    -6    6   4

We'll remember the names of those who died

  5    5       5     5   -5  -5  -5  5  -4  4  4

On the streets of Mi-nne-a-a-a-po-lis
