Walking up Broadway,
face down in the wind
G D
Mission bells ring as
the night falls in

If I had a car, man
I'd fill it up and drive
D

E A
Where the bright lights
shine and the strong survive
F#m D A D A E A
You know I call myself
a writer, but I never get paid
Send letters back home,
tell 'em all I've got it made
They're standing in
line to hear the songs I write
Like the one about the
loser singin' just another night
A
It's just another (just
another)
D
A
It's just another night
F#m
D A
Ain't got myself a girl,
I ain't even had a bite

There's people on the
west side livin' life right

D

But down here in this
neighborhood it's just another (just another night)
Took the Illinois Central
to the California shore
Lookin' for a life with
a little bit more
But brother in one year
the only pleasure I've found
Was a pretty senorita
down in Tijuana town
Bridge:
D
Last night I heard a
shotgun firin' through my house it rang
A
Local boy shot by a
Southside gang
D
You know there ain't
no justice on the streets of the deprived
E
Just a place down on
the corner where you thank God you're alive
SOLO OVER INTRO CHORDS
And it's just another
(just another)
It's just another night
Ain't got myself a girl,
I ain't even had a bite
There's people on the
west side livin' it up right
But down here in this
neighborhood it's just another (just another night)
