A C#m Bm Dm

Verse 1:

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

A C#m C#m* Cm* Bm Dm

Verse 2:

A                                 C#m
And if you wish to dance beside a girl
                     C#m* Cm* Bm
With playful pigtails in her hair

She writes a dozen letters
Dm
Dreams of when her love returns
    A                            C#m
And as she whispers softly for a boy who's hit the ground
    D
Well darlin' now he sleeps
  Dm                    Bm
A soul of Chapel Street


Chorus:

   E
1-61 poppies
               A
Race around my head
                                Bm N.C.* Bbm*
I'm running through the rows of red
   Bm  E
And 0161
                        D Dm  A
For the souls of Chapel Street


Verse 3:

    A                              C#m
And if you wish to stroll beside a father
                           Cm*  Bm
Dressed in black from head to toe
                           Dm
He whistles lullabies and tells her he must go
   A                                  C#m
He says that he'll be back to make the angels in the snow
    D
But honey now he sleeps
  Dm
A soul of Chapel Street


Verse 4:

    A                             C#m
And if you wish to stand beside a boy
                        C#m* Cm* Bm
Who works with hands of soot and coal

He steals the master's muffins
Dm
Bloody knuckles tell it all
   A
He says that he'll be bringing back
    C#m
The riches from the war
    D
But sweetie now he sleeps
  Dm                     Bm
A soul of Chapel Street

1-61 poppies
               A

I'm running through the rows of red

And 0161

For the souls of Chapel Street

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