Verse 1:
E MajorE
Hello, my chum
C# minorC#m
It's me and I'm banging on your door
BB
It's been far too long
A augmentedA
Since we set the leaves alight down on the floor
E MajorE
I've returned for a while
C# minorC#m
To the concrete that once claimed my knees
BB
And the stones my hands owned
A augmentedA
As I sent them toward windows and trees
Middle 8:
F# minorF#m
Towering trees
BB - B7B7 - E MajorE
Towering trees
Verse: 2
E MajorE
There are bangers in the wheely bins
C# minorC#m
Lazer pens shone through the glass
BB
And BB after BB fired
A augmentedA
From behind the wall beyond the grass
E MajorE
And though boots met my face
C# minorC#m
And knuckles cracked me black as coal
BB
I care not for the mindless
A augmentedA
Who poked fear at my sorry soul
Middle 8:
F# minorF#m
My soul
BB - B7B7
My soul
Verse 3:
E MajorE
And I miss the rain on the roof
C# minorC#m
Pitstop paths and whistling streams
BB
I miss the Coldstream chips
A augmentedA
The red subbuteo team painted green
E MajorE
Built on back fields,
C# minorC#m
It seemed a thorn in my child side
BB
Instead became a grit-soaked playground
A augmentedA
Where the propers and the poor collide
Bridge:
E MajorE
Oh, it might sound dull
C# minorC#m
But dull's sometimes all we have
BB
Yeah, it might sound dull
A augmentedA
But dull's all we ever have
Refrain:
E MajorE
Sometimes I talk with the meter
C# minorC#m
Of a bingo caller's east-end drawl
BB
Who cares; we're all just trying to float
BB A augmentedA
While everything seems set to fall
Middle 8:
F# minorF#m
So hard
BB - B7B7
So hard
Ending is based around the main chords. To achieve end drum effect play 'C#m' once
then into fret noise in time with the drum.
