G  Em7  G   Em7

[Verse 1]
G                     Em7
Ain't no golden gates gonna swing open
G                         Em7
Ain't no streets paved in natural pearl
Csus2                  D
Ain't no angel with a harp come singin'
Csus2                  D
Leastways not that I know in this world

[Instrumental]
G   Em7   G   Em7

[Verse 2]
G                  Em7
In these days of uncertain futures
G                    Em7
Who knows what the masters might do
Csus2                     D
They got their big deals goin' on, goin' on
Csus2                  D
Got nothing to do with me and you

[Chorus]
Am                D
If I could I'd get us a big suite
Am                 D
Overlooking the Park
G                D
Only promises I know to be true
         C                      D
Are the promises made from the heart
          C                      D
Just the promises made from the heart

[Instrumental]
G   Em7   G   Em7

[Verse]
G                         Em7
I don't need to see the whole thing go down
G                              Em7
I don't need to see another lonely man
Csus2                         D
I don't need to see a woman crying for the savior
Csus2               D
Holding on to some moneyman's hand

[Chorus]
Am                   D
Who can I call to make my reservations
Am                        D
Forever thrown in the dark
G                 D
Only promises I know to be true
         C                      D
Are the promises made from the heart
          C                      D
Just the promises made from the heart

[Bridge]
C                     Am
I don't believe in the authorities
C                             Am
They ain't gonna take care of me and you
F               D
I don't have all the strength that I need
F                       D
To live the way that I want to

[Instrumental]
G    D    Csus2   D

[Chorus]
G                  D
Only promises I know to be true
         C                      D
Are the promises made from the heart
          C                      D
Just the promises made from the heart
