David Knopfler - Southside Tenements


INTRO: G+G A augmentedA D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD G+G A augmentedA G+G

        A augmentedA     D MajorD     G+G
London City has Southside Tenements
          A augmentedA        D MajorD
Rusty cans, broken cars, cracked cement
G+G             A augmentedA         D MajorD
Someone blocked the drain, someone smashed a vent
   G+G      A augmentedA       D MajorD  G+G A augmentedA D MajorD  G+G A augmentedA D MajorD  G+G A augmentedA G+G
In a Southside, a Southside Tenement


        A augmentedA     D MajorD     G+G
London City has Southside Tenements
             A augmentedA   D MajorD   G+G
Flags are flying for some royal event
                 A augmentedA     D MajorD
There's people hanging out of the St. Paul's windows
G+G        A augmentedA          D MajorD
Lining up on the pavement and on the High Street
              G+G
And the City Road and from Crossfields
    A augmentedA       D MajorD  G+G A augmentedA D MajorD  G+G A augmentedA D MajorD  G+G A augmentedA G+G
And the Southside Tenement

          A augmentedA       D MajorD   G+G
Well I get restive, and I got to leave
                    A augmentedA       D MajorD    G+G
I'm taking the shortcut home, past the arches, by the railway
          D MajorD      A augmentedA       D MajorD
Where an old friend swears that maybe he could save me
   G+G     A augmentedA   D MajorD
For a crazy boy, he's okay
   G+G      A augmentedA       D MajorD
For a Southside, a Southside cavalcade


BRIDGE:
     G+G      A augmentedA      D MajorD
Hear the haunted, the haunted serenader
   E minorEm   G+G     A augmentedA         D MajorD
He's just a memory, a-fading on The Broadway
A augmentedA        G+G
Fading from the Southside
  A augmentedA       D MajorD
The Southside Tenement

INSTRUMENTAL: G+G A augmentedA D MajorD  G+G A augmentedA D MajorD  G+G A augmentedA G+G

       G+G A augmentedA D MajorD  G+G A augmentedA D MajorD  G+G A augmentedA D MajorD G+G


      A augmentedA       D MajorD   G+G
Sleepwalking to The Oxford Arms
       A augmentedA      D MajorD   G+G
No-one noticed warehouse alarms
             A augmentedA          D MajorD
Slamming dominoes in the back bar, safe from harm
    G+G       A augmentedA       D MajorD
By the Southside, the Southside Tenement
    G+G       A augmentedA       D MajorD  G+G A augmentedA D MajorD  G+G A augmentedA G+G
By the Southside, the Southside Tenement


        A augmentedA     D MajorD     G+G
London City has Southside Tenements
                        A augmentedA         D MajorD   G+G
Cops saying that my kids are thieves, and they say "The Bill are bent"
          A augmentedA      D MajorD
Well, I dunno, I'm only sharing rent
   G+G      A augmentedA       D MajorD   G+G
In a Southside, a Southside Tenement
 A augmentedA       D MajorD  G+G A augmentedA G+G
A augmentedA Southside Tenement


        A augmentedA     D MajorD     G+G
London City has Southside Tenements
           A augmentedA         D MajorD
Broken parts, broken hearts, cracked cement
   G+G           A augmentedA            D MajorD
Some spray-can words 'bout love and gold - remember them?
    G+G       A augmentedA      D MajorD
And the madman crying "Nobody's condemned"
     G+G     A augmentedA       D MajorD
Not even Southside, Southside Tenement
    G+G   A augmentedA       D MajorD
And I remember Southside Tenement
