Along these broken pavements, I let my mind run free

The past and the present, Seem just the same to me
Gm     C         Am     Dm
The people I have loved most, Among these stones they dwell
Gm                Bb        C
And in the plainest language, The stories they did tell

Chorus:
F       C       F      Bb
  They pass,  they pass   They pass, they pass
F       Dm     Gm       C
The streets of Edinburgh, Hold half the world for me
F      C     F      Bb
 In scores, in droves The living and the ghosts
F       Dm Gm  Bb   C    F
The streets of Edinburgh Mean most to me

Piano riff:
F
bar chord 1st fret pick strings 6 3 2 3 4 x 2

Verse:
F     C         Bb      C
Depending on your viewpoint, This place is blessed or cursed
F     C           Bb       C
And in the years I’ve lived here, I’ve seen the best and worst
Gm    C       Am     Dm
An air of sordid passion, A look of dirty grace
Gm             Bb      C
But not right in your face, It’s not that kind of place

Chorus:
F       C       F      Bb
  They pass,  they pass   They pass, they pass
F       Dm     Gm       C
The streets of Edinburgh, Hold half the world for me
F      C     F      Bb
 In scores, in droves The living and the ghosts
F       Dm Gm  Bb   C    F
The streets of Edinburgh Mean most to me

Piano riff:
F
bar chord 1st fret pick strings 6 3 2 3 4 x 2

Verse:
F      C        Bb      C
Down greasy potholed roadways, I watch the traffic crawl
F      C        Bb    C
But for the cars and buses, I give no thought at all
Gm    C       Am    Dm
I think about the future, I wonder at her health
Gm             Bb      C
How with this human wealth, She does renew herself (hold C chord 4 measures)

Chorus:
F       C       F      Bb
  They pass,  they pass   They pass, they pass
F       Dm     Gm       C
The streets of Edinburgh, Hold half the world for me
F      C     F      Bb
 In scores, in droves The living and the ghosts
F       Dm Gm  Bb   C    F
The streets of Edinburgh Mean most to me
