#BruceSpringsteen cuts "Streets of Minneapolis" An anthem for our time. The Boss dropped #streetsofminneapolis as a nation rises against a tyrant. #harmonica optional D [Verse] D G D Through the winter’s ice and cold, down Nicollet Avenue, G D A a city aflame fought fire and ice, 'neath an occupier’s boots. D G D King Trump’s private army from the DHS, guns belted to their coats, G D A D came to Minneapolis to enforce the law, or so their story goes. [Verse] D G D Against smoke and rubber bullets, in the dawn’s early light, G D A Asus4 A citizens stood for justice, their voices ringing through the night. D G D And there were bloody footprints where mercy should have stood, G D A D And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets, Alex Pretti and Renee Good. [Chorus] G D Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice, singing through the bloody mist. G D We’ll take our stand for this land, and the stranger in our midst. G D Here in our home they killed and roamed, in the winter of ’26, D A D We’ll remember the names of those who died, on the streets of Minneapolis. [Verse] D G D Trump’s federal thugs beat up on his face and his chest, G D A Asus4 A then we heard the gunshots, and Alex Pretti lay in the snow, dead. D G D Their claim was "self defense, sir, just don’t believe your eyes", G D It’s our blood and bones and these whistles and phones against Miller and A D Noem’s dirty lies. [Chorus] G D Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice, crying through the bloody mist. D A D We’ll remember the names of those who died, on the streets of Minneapolis. [Harmonica solo] G D A D [Verse] D G D Now they say they’re here to uphold the law, but they trample on our rights. D G D If your skin is black or brown my friend, you can be questioned or deported A Asus4 A on sight. D G D In our chants of "ICE out now!", our city’s heart and soul persists, D G D A D Through broken glass and bloody tears, on the streets of Minneapolis. [Chorus] G D Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice, singing through the bloody mist. G D Here in our home they killed and roamed, In the winter of ’26. G D We’ll take our stand for this land, and the stranger in our midst! D A D We’ll remember the names of those who died, on the streets of Minneapolis, D A D We’ll remember the names of those who died on the streets of Minneapolis!
