A minorAm
🎸 Verse 1:
A minorAm
Anna died in the '80s
FF G+G A minorAm
In a one room flat on a dead end street
A minorAm
Another mark in the spaces
FF G+G A minorAm
Where the bones and the spirit and the numbers meet
A minorAm
She was 3 years old when they built them
FF G+G A minorAm
9 feet tall and an iron crown
A minorAm
Her brother's friend laid the foundations
FF G+G A minorAm
'Cause there's nothing like money keeps a poor boy down
🎸 Refrain:
FF G+G E minorEm FF
Her daddy flew in 19 40
FF G+G E minorEm FF
Didn't remember his voice at all

But she recalled all kinds of trouble
FF G+G A minorAm
If she played in the shadow of the Cutteslowe Walls
🎸 Interlude:
A minorAm
🎸 Verse 2:
A minorAm
She talked about when the kid from 15
FF G+G A minorAm
Climbed to get a look at the other side
A minorAm
heard the snap of his ankle
FF G+G A minorAm
And all he got to see was brick and sky
🎸 Refrain:
FF G+G E minorEm FF
When he grew up he worked the night shift
FF G+G E minorEm FF
Patching up the drunks from the music halls

He raised his kids in Plowman Tower
FF G+G A minorAm
Built from the shadow of the Cutteslowe Walls

Hoist the clay upon their shoulder

The sweat of every working man

Raised a wall they can't get over

Not like blood or money can

A minorAm
They took them down in the '50s

Brick by brick 'til the road was clear
A minorAm
All the kids who walked to school
FF G+G A minorAm
Said it's a whole lot quicker to get out of here
A minorAm
At 6 o'clock in the morning
FF G+G A minorAm
There's a song from the wheels of the passing cars
A minorAm
To every ghost treads the tarmac
FF G+G A minorAm
Trying to make it on but they never get far

Where there's a line at the food bank

You'll see the shadow of the Cutteslowe Walls
