Soap Box Preacher

 G                         C      G
Soap box preacher standing on a corner
             Em                  C       G
And all the people they would gather round
                          C         G
You speak of faith with a blaze of glory
                Em              C         G
But those that fear they wanna knock you down
             C        G
Nobody knows where you live
             Em         C      G
Where do you go in the naked night
                         C            G
All of the prophets that come before you
         Em         C       G
They can hear your lonesome cry
             C                       D     Em
When you're out there in the night, all alone
            C                             D         Em
When you're staring in the light, at the end of the road

[Chorus]
         G     Am      C               D
In those proud shoes, coming on up the alley
         G     Am      C                D
In those proud shoes, walks all over the sky
G                  Am   C                D
Then he tipped his hat just like Don Quixote
           C            D               G
And said don't let the rapture pass you by

G                               C    G
Heard a bugle blowing in the misty morning
       Em                  C       G
What a haunting sound over Times Square
                      C     G
Heard of the ghost of 52nd Street
                Em         C        G
Looked out the door but no one was there
                C       G
Out in the cold Harlem rain
          Em               C       G
I went searching for this minstrel man
                    C        G
Played me a song to ease the pain
       Em        C    G
With a Salvation Army band
             C                     D    Em
When you're out there in the dark, all alone
                C                         D         Em
When you're sleeping in the park, at the end of the road

[Chorus]

          G     Am     C               D
In those proud shoes, coming on up the alley
          G     Am     C                D
In those proud shoes, walks all over the sky
G                 Am           C       D
Then he tips his hat just like Don Quixote
          C             D               G
And said don't let the rapture pass you by

        C                        D       Em
In the neon wilderness and the asphalt jungle
    C
He carries his cross of passion
             D               Em
Through the wreckage and the rumble

[Chorus]

         G     Am      C               D
In those proud shoes, coming on up the alley
         G     Am      C                D
In those proud shoes, walks all over the sky
        G          Am  C                D
Then he tipped his hat just like Don Quixote
           C            D
And said don't let the rapture,
C              D               G
Don't let the rapture pass you by
C       D             G
Don't let it pass you by
