Intro:
C
C G C (C/B)
From the corners of the country from the cities and the farms
Am F C G
With years and years of living tucked up underneath their arms
Am F C F
They walked away from everything just to see a dream come true
C (C/B) Am (Am/G) F G C
So God bless the boys who make the noise on 16th Avenue
C G C (C/B)
With a million dollar spirit and an old flat top guitar
Am F C G
They drive to town with all they own in a hundred dollar car
Am F C F
Cause one time someone told them about a friend of a friend they knew
C (C/B) Am (Am/G) F G C
Who owns you know a studio on 16th Avenue
C G C (C/B)
Now some are born to money they never had to say survive
Am (Am/G) F C G
And others swing a nine pound hammer just to stay alive
Am F C F
There's cowboys drunks and Christians mostly white and black and blue
C (C/B) Am (Am/G) F G C
They all look the same while seeking fame on 16th Avenue
C G C (C/B)
Well every night for a couple of years they all think of turning back
Am (Am/G) F C G
Every Merle Bob and Eddie, even Mary John and Jack,
Am (Am/G) F C F
Every Mickey Chris and Rory just ask Sonny if it's true
C (C/B) Am (Am/G) F G C
They've all dialed the phone collect to home from 16th Avenue
C G C (C/B)
Ah but then one night in some empty room where no curtains ever hung
Am F C G
Like a miracle some golden words roll off of someone's tongue
Am (Am/G) F C F
And after years of being nothing they're all looking right at you
C (C/B) Am (Am/G) F G C
And then for awhile they'll go in style on 16th Avenue
C G C (C/B)
Some will make a million and others just get by
Am (Am/G) F C G
And you won't know that some exist until the day they die
Am (Am/G) F C F
You can say that you don't need them but I really think you do
C (C/B) Am (Am/G) F G C
Cause in terms of songs the world belongs to 16th Avenue
C G C (C/B)
Hey it looks so uneventful so quiet and discreet
Am (Am/G) F C G
But a lot of lives were changed there on that little one-way street
Am (Am/G) F C F
Cause they walked away from everything just to sing for me and you
C (C/B) Am (Am/G) F G C
So God bless the boys who make the noise on 16th Avenue
