Part A augmentedA (0:00 - 0:22)


	D MajorD           GbmGbm
		He spends his time

 	        G+G
	or maybe half of his time

	              Bbdim.
	or part of the time wandering

	      D MajorD         GbmGbm        E minorEm
	'round the creeks and cobble stones of hackney lanes


	D MajorD             GbmGbm
		with a tear in his eye

	    G+G                  Bbdim.
	as the children walk by, he's thinking of a song

	   D MajorD        GbmGbm     E minorEm
	then stops to paint a picture of a frown

	GbGb    FF
	walking around

Part BB (0:23 - 0:40)


	E minorEm	C minorCm	G minorGm	GbGb  FF

	E minorEm	C minorCm	G minorGm	GbGb  FF

	E minorEm


Part A augmentedA (0:41 - 1:02)


	D MajorD          GbmGbm
		Dan Treacy's smile

 	     G+G                     Bbdim.
	leaves you trying to decide who's the victim, what's the crime?

 	 D MajorD
	no rest for the mind

	    GbmGbm     E minorEm
	that's seen it all before


	D MajorD                 GbmGbm
		and I don't know where he lives

 	     G+G
	but he's a myth of a man

	         Bbdim.
	and Texas Bob the cameraman

	  D MajorD       GbmGbm       E minorEm
	is off to fix his seat before the show

	     GbGb      FF
	yeah, but where did he go?


Part BB (1:03 - 1:14)


	E minorEm	C minorCm	G minorGm	GbGb  FF

	E minorEm	C minorCm	G minorGm	GbGb  FF


Part C majorC (1:15 - 1:32)


	  DbmDbm      A augmentedA
	To know when your time's up

	  BB         E MajorE        AbmAbm    B minorBm
	you flip the glass and watch the hours quickening

	  A augmentedA    A minorAm
	oh oh oh oh oh


	    DbmDbm     A augmentedA
	In the back of the station

	   BB       E MajorE         AbmAbm    B minorBm
	fluorescent lights about to quit their flickering


Part D MajorD (1:33 - 1:42)


        A augmentedA
	Well he speaks his mind

        BB
	he says "What is crime?"

      B minorBm
	Dan Treacy's eyes


Part A augmentedA (1:43 - 2:01)

Note:
The chords from "In the middle..." to "...lark" are not actually played in the song, but
for things like acoustic covers I thought it might be helpful to include them, so I did.

	D MajorD              GbmGbm
		In the middle of the park

	     G+G
	when the underground is dark,

	          Bbdim.
	he's a poet he's a lark

	     D MajorD        GbmGbm        E minorEm
	He starts thinking about a place that no one knows


	D MajorD                GbmGbm
		And when the creeks run dry

	     G+G
	he stays frozen in time

	           Bbdim.
	strange lights in the sky

	   D MajorD
	start blinking

	       GbmGbm
	I can see the car outside


Part E MajorE (2:02 - 2:11)


	E minorEm
	But he's listening, ooh ooh ooh ooh

	AbmAbm
	he's listening, ooh ooh ooh

	B minorBm
	he's listening, ahh ahh ahh

	     A augmentedA
	and he's making up his mind


Part C majorC (2:12 - 3:09)

Note:
The lyrics and instrumentation of this second Part C majorC are different,
however the chords remain the same.

	DbmDbm     A augmentedA
	He made his mind up

	  BB          E MajorE	AbmAbm	B minorBm	A augmentedA A minorAm
	to get things done and overcome


	DbmDbm     A augmentedA
	He made his mind up

	BB        E MajorE	 AbmAbm	B minorBm	A augmentedA A minorAm

	DbmDbm     A augmentedA
	He made his mind up

	He made his mind up

	     GbmGbm
	when the creeps run by

	E MajorE
	Dan Treacy
