Johan Fredriksson - The Streets Of L.A ACOUSTIC VERSION

Hi there friends, subscribers and all the other people! I decided to record an acoustic version this song (might do so with several ones of my own if it's appreciated?). Maybe abit fun for those (few of you, haha) who wants to learn to play my songs. This might give you a hint. **SORRY for the low volume, I'll try to get the sorted to the next video.

And I want to prove that I actually can play my own songs as well ;-). Even though this is not perfect, (I used take nr 2) it gives you a picture of the song. I do not play my own songs too often..better start doing that I think.

Take care all and see you soon! / Johan Fredriksson

LYRICS
Have you ever looked out over the streets of L.A
All you see is the Hollywood sign and the folks who pay
This is the city of dreams for loving pairs
Its where we travel when we want some action in the air
But Jack is still waiting


He was born on the countryside with his family
His daddy beat him to sleep while his brother was in the navy
The sheets were red by blood and he couldnt stop the bleeding
Every morning he covered it up so his mother didnt have to see it
Yeah this was Jack

Ref
No one knows, no one cares what should they do
Jacks alone and what he does is not up to you
A beggar-boy doesnt need sympathy, its true
According to his father, Jack isnt worth more than you


However he knew how to use a baseball bat and he did
Right in the face of his dad and his mother couldnt believe it
She dragged down the curtains in case the cops were there to see it
From this moment he has been poor and lived as a beggar
In the streets of L.A


No one knows how Jacks doing now
If he is happy, drunk or dead inside a trunk
But whats for sure is that hes been a fighter all his life
And I wanted to tell you that the life in the streets of L.A
Isnt that easy


Ref
No one knows, no one cares what should they do
Jacks alone and what he does is not up to you
A beggar-boy doesnt need sympathy, its true
According to his father, Jack isnt worth more than you
