Tuning: E A D G B E

There are lots of different versions out there, so I tried to put them all together and distinguish between those. The song itself is just the 4 accords and pretty easy... Have fun :) C F Am G through the entire song [Verse]

^CBut it's my home, ^Fall I have known ^AmWhere I got grown, ^Gstreets we would roam ^CBut out of the darkness, ^FI came the farthest ^AmAmong the hardest ^Gsurvival

^CLearn from these streets, ^Fit can be bleak ^AmExcept no defeat, ^Gsurrender retreat ^CSo we struggling, ^Ffighting to eat and ^AmWe wondering ^Gwhen we'll be free
