A#b    C#m    Bm    Dm

Verse:
A#b                           C#m                                   Bm
If you wish to walk beside a boy who kicks his ball down cobbled lanes
                            Dm
And Mother’s worried sick to why he’s out this late again
A#b                           C#m
Sister knits a woolly hat for footprints in the sand
    D#b
So careful where he sleeps
  Dm
G# soul of Chapel Street

A#b                                 C#m                                   Bm
And if you wish to dance beside a girl with playful pigtails in her hair
She writes a dozen letters
Dm
Dreams of when her love returns
A#b                               C#m
And as she whispers softly for a boy who’s hit the ground
      D#b
Well darling now he sleeps
  Dm
G# soul of Chapel Street

Chorus:
Bm  E                        A#b
  161 poppies race around my head
                                F#m
I’m running through the rows of red
    D#b  E                        D#b   D#bm A#b
And 0161 for the souls of Chapel Street

Verse 2:
A#b                                C#m                                   Bm
And if you wish to stand bеside a father dressеd in black from head to toe
                          Dm
He whistles lullabies and tells her he must go
A#b                                     C#m
He says that he’ll be back to make the angels in the snow
    D#b
But honey now he sleeps
  Dm
G# soul of Chapel Street
A#b                                C#m                                   Bm
And if you wish to stand beside a boy who works with hands of soot and coal
He steals the master's muffins
Dm
Bloody knuckles tell the tale
A#b
He says that he’ll be bringing back
    C#m
The riches from the war
    D#b
But sweetie now he sleeps
  Dm
G# soul of Chapel Street

Chorus:
Bm  E                        A#b
  161 poppies race around my head
                                F#m
I’m running through the rows of red
    D#b  E                        D#b   D#bm A#b
And 0161 for the souls of Chapel Street

    Bm  E                        A#b
And oh 161 poppies race around my head, oh no
                                F#m
I’m running through the fields of green
    D#b  E                        D#b   D#bm A#b
And 0161 for the souls of Chapel Street

Verse 3:
A#b                                C#m                                   Bm
And if you wish to walk behind the boys who kick their ball down pebbled avenues
                  Dm
And honest smiles defy the Monday blues
A#b                                        C#m
But still I hear the sound of cobbles to clogs and combat boots
            D#b
So careful where they sleep
    Dm
The souls of Chapel Street
