[Verse 1]

Em                   Bm               Em      A
Cop is on the corner lookin’ down the street, Waitin’ for the runner
Em
comin’ with the treat
                              Bm             A
Crime it don’t exist when you look the other way, It’s only in the
                        Em
movies….. when it never pays.
Em                                     A                    Em
They get you in the Jailhouse, the cops’ll get their pick, You don’t
                           A
fight back unless you’re lookin’ to get hit.
   C       G         D            A
In Tin Can Alley the cops get the kicks,
     Em              B                 Em
They know who it is, carryin’ the sticks.  (2 Bars)


[Verse 2]

Em                  Bm               Em    A
Hall-way nightmares blackin’ out the moon, Someone’s on the landing
Em
fumbling with a spoon
                      Bm                       A
Stay for a while, you can’t be here, Cause the man is comin’.....and he
         Em
might be near
Em                                    A                Em
He knows you’ll come a-lookin’ if you don’t find some, He circles like
                A
a vulture till your Mind’s undone,
       C            G           D           A
You’re crazy like a rat but you just  can’t run.
        Em                      B            Em
Down in Tin Can Alley with your back to the sun.


[Verse 3]

Em                     Bm             Em                A
Shoebox halls, ain't very much space, It ain’t just the kids that
Em
over-run the place
                      Bm               A
Rats in the cupboard, papa just sighs, Man is afraid... they’ll make
           Em
the baby cry
Em                                 A                      Em
They creep along the floor, they creep along the wall,  landlord’s
          A
out every time you call
   C             G                D               A
You’re scared at night, you can’t walk out in the hall
        Em                        B                Em
Down in Tin Can Alley, they ain’t afraid of you at all.

[Verse 4]

Em                      A
Church is on the corner heralding the poor
Em                      A
The earth is in a vault locked inside the door
Em                            A
Repent and it is yours is the promise that they give
EM               Bm        A                                 Em
And you hope and pray that Jesus...... remembers where you live.
Em                          A
You were born to suffer the preacher he believes
Em                          A
Pay for all your sins, now get down on your knees
   C                     G             D                 A
But you've been down so long that you don't know what it means
       Em                          B                 Em
Oh, parked out in the alley in his chauffeured limousine
        Em                      B            Em
Down in Tin Can Alley with your back to the sun.
