#BruceSpringsteen cuts "Streets of Minneapolis"
An anthem for our time.
The Boss dropped #streetsofminneapolis as a nation rises against a tyrant. #harmonica optional

[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!
