Justice For Tulsa (outsiders The Musical) Tab uke di Themes

[Intro]
 
E
 
[COP]
 
Call came in at three-fifteen
Bloodiest mess I ever seen
A lone boy there, left for dead
G       A         Em
No one else around
 
[ENSEMBLE]
 
[Chorus]
 
Justice for Tulsa
                              A
Search this town high and low
Must be someone out there who knows
Em
 
[Verse 1]
 
[COP]
 
I checked to see if he was still alive
His body was cold, eyes open wide
His face was twisted, almost seemed surprised
G     A                Em
Lying there on the ground
 
[ENSEMBLE]
 
[Verse 2]
 
                           G
I heard they were from the East Side

                              A
They wеre prowling around at night
Was a nice boy from the Wеst Side

                                       Em
And they killed him with a switchblade knife
 
[Verse 3]
 
[COP]
                                 E5
Put out a call to bring Dallas in
That Winston boy with the crooked grin
If there's anything he knows
     G          A          Em
I'm gonna get it out of him
 
[DALLAS]
I got no clue where they could be
And why the hell you asking me?

Am                      G
Even if I knew, wouldn't give 'em up to you

          B                        Em
If you're turning up the heat I dealt with hotter shit than you

             Am
When there's trouble on the right side of town

      G
It's me and all my boys you’re shakin' down

     B                     B
Well I got nothing for you

                           B
Why don't you just get lost
Why don't you ask the Socs why the line got crossed
 
[Chorus]
 
[ENSEMBLE]
 
Em
Justice for Tulsa
Do what you have to do
 
 Em  D  G  C5 [g3 & c4]  G [g3 & b3]
 
[Verse 4]
 
[CHERRY]
    Em                  D/F#     G
Could this have gone a different way?

      Em                   D      G
Can't believe I'm standing here today

Page 2/5
         Em            D/F#      G  C5 [g3 & c4]  G [g3 & b3]
But you never did the things you should

    Em               D        G     C5 [g2 & c3] G [g2 & b2]
Even so I know your heart was good

            Em           D    G     C5 [g2 & c3] G [g2 & b2]
When it was only you and me alone

         Em            D/F#       G
I saw a side of you I wish they'd known

       Em               D/F#   G    C5 [g2 & c3] G [g2 & b2]
Like a secret you could never share

     Em               D/F#  G
The part of you that truly cared
E
 
[Verse 5]
 
[PAUL]
               Am      G        C
This can't be real, he can't be gone

            G                      D
And I don't know how we just carry on

                Am     G     C
This could've happened to anyone

             G             D
But here we are, can't be undone
 
 
[CHERRY]

      C      F       C5
What have we done?
 
[PAUL]

                     D
We were only having fun
 
[CHERRY]
                       C5 (with f#)
You were only having fun?
 
[PAUL]
                    C
We were only having fun

                                E
Just hanging out, just horsing 'round

                        Am  Am
Doing what we've always done
 
[Verse 6]
 
[CHERRY]
                  C  C
Bob was drinking, you were drinking too

    Dm  Dm                        F  F                 E  E   Am  Am
And tell me what's so fun about a fight that's five on two

                      C  C
What’d you think that boy was gonna do?

    Dm  Dm                              F  F             E  E
He lived his life scared to death after what you put him through
 
[PAUL]
 
Am  Am                            C  C
Bob went crazy when he saw you with that Greaser kid

    Dm  Dm
You held his hand at the concession stand

F  F                E  E
I saw it all, you know just what you did
 
[Verse 7]
 
[CHERRY]

Am
You guys were loud that night

C
Out looking for a fight

    Dm
The two of us just stayed behind

    F                 E                Am
You couldn't stand to leave those boys alone
 
[PAUL & ENSEMBLE]

You and Pony holding hands

C
I don't think you understand

Dm
Bob was not a jealous man

F                E                      F
Cherry, what you did that night was wrong
 
[Verse 8]
 
[PAUL]
                 D
You should be as mad as me

                  C
At the senseless tragedy

    E
Bob didn't need to die!
 
[PAUL & ENSEMBLE]

    F
The Greasers crossed a line

        C
We could sit here asking why

            E
Or we could send them back a message

                       Am  Am
Take an eye for an eye
 
[Verse 9]
                                                           D  D
Anyone from the East Side, if you're prowling around at night

We got a message from the West Side, you better run for your life

Am                         D7  D
Where did those Greasers go?
(If you’re prowling around at night, got a message from the West Side)
Must be someone out there who knows
(You better run for your life)
