Down in the Crocodile Bar where me and Gareth went too far
   E minorEm           D MajorD
And I miss him now he's gone away
      D MajorD           F# minorF#m
Over in the flash hotel I see the wedding bells
      E minorEm             D MajorD
And really hope they have a beautiful day

Then I saw there'd be war, frightened people by the score

Lift up thine eyes to the sky

Here comes the summertime

You are a friend of mine

I'm in the corner shop, my mate Paul stops me

Says "I see you're in the paper today"
       D MajorD        F# minorF#m
And when the bailiff calls, I shout down the hall
     E minorEm              D MajorD
"Ain't nobody lives round here by that name"
   G+G             A augmentedA
And I see in a dream, a thousand people in the street
    E minorEm
All in line, putting out fires
      G+G
Moving the masonry
     A augmentedA                      D MajorD
Trying to help each other recover from what they have seen

       F# minorF#m
My love flows, my heart grows

 The city, it owns me
E minorEm       A augmentedA
 They shall not pass
