B minorBm   D MajorD    A augmentedA    G7G7
Red sun go down way over dirty town
B minorBm      D MajorD       A augmentedA   G7G7   B minorBm
Starling are sweeping around crazy shoals
 D MajorD
A augmentedA girl is there
A augmentedA       G7G7
High heeling across the square
B minorBm        D MajorD        A augmentedA            G7G7
Wind is blowing around in her hair and the flags upon the poles
E minor 7Em7
Waiting in the crowd to cross at the light
          Gm6Gm6  F#7F#7     B minorBm  F#m7F#m7  B minorBm F#m7F#m7 C7C7
She looks around to find a face she can like

B minorBm     D MajorD          A augmentedA         G7G7
Church bell clinging on just to try to get a crowd for Evensong
B minorBm       D MajorD     A augmentedA       G7G7
Nobody cares to depend upon the chime it plays
B minorBm            D MajorD
They're all in the station praying for trains
A augmentedA      G7G7
Congregation late again
B minorBm         D MajorD         A augmentedA     G7G7
It's getting darker all the time these flagpole days
E minor 7Em7
Drunk old soldier gives her a fright
         Gm6Gm6  F#7F#7  B minorBm   F#m7F#m7  B minorBm F#m7F#m7 C7C7
He's a crazy lion howling for a fight

B minorBm      D MajorD
Strap hanging gunshot sound
A augmentedA          G7G7
Doors slamming on the overground
B minorBm      D MajorD       A augmentedA            G7G7
Starling are tough but the lions are made of stone
B minorBm         D MajorD
Her evening paper is horror torn
A augmentedA           G7G7
But there's hope later for Capricorns
B minorBm         D MajorD     A augmentedA      G7G7
Her lucky gives her just enough to get her home
E minor 7Em7
The she's reading about a swing to the right
              Gm6Gm6   F#7F#7   B minorBm  F#m7F#m7  G+G
But she's thinking about a stranger in the night
            A augmentedA       G+G
I'm thinking about the lions tonight
          A augmentedA       G+G
Thinking about the lions tonight
           A augmentedA   G+G
What happened to the lions
    B minorBm A augmentedA
To the lions
    B minorBm A augmentedA
To the lions
    B minorBm A augmentedA
To the lions
    B minorBm A augmentedA
To the lions
A augmentedA
Thinking about the lions


REPEAT AND FADE...
