1.               I was    bruised and battered, I couldn't tell what I felt,
             e
    I was     unrecognizable to myself.
                  C
    Saw my     reflection in a window and didn't know my own face.
                      e
    So brother,    are you gonna leave me wasting away
                                         F         - C - G       F - C - G
    on the streets of Philadelphia.
 
                         C
2. I walked  the avenue 'til my legs felt like stone,
                e
    I heard     voices of friends vanished and gone.
                   C
    At night I     hear the blood in my veins,
                   e
    just as  black and whispery as the rain
                                         F           - C - G    F - C - G
    on the streets of Philadelphia.
 
F                                       a         F                                       C
   Ain't no angel gonna greet me.     It's just you and I, my friend.
e                                   F                    
   and my clothes don't fit me no more,  
G
    I walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin.
 
  C                                                                   e  
3.   The night is falling, I'm lying awake, I can   feel myself fading away.
               C
    So receive me brother with your fateless kiss, or will we
e
    leave each other alone like this
                                        F           - C - G     F - C - G ....
    on thestreets of Philadelphia...
           
(capo 5th)

How to practise this song

1
Put your capo on fret 5
Clamp the capo on before you start — otherwise the shapes won't sound like the original.
2
Practise the barre chord F
F is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.
Open
3
Practise the change: F ↔ C
Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
