Pattern, but with muted GBe/Be strings on A minorAm and Dm:
A minorAm DmDm
It was a quiet, dark night on an empty street somewhere in London City
A minorAm Dm7Dm7
Jenny walked alone, she was dragging her feet, she was heading back home to sleep
A minorAm DmDm
Well she knew this town, she knew this floor, because she’d walked it about a thousand times before
A minorAm Dm7Dm7
She wanted to escape, can you blame?
Strumming:
A minorAm DmDm
Well on the very same night, in a different place, there walked a hooded young youth by the name of James
A minorAm Dm7Dm7
He was 14 years old and out of his brain, he’d been smoking ganja with the boys
A minorAm DmDm
James, he grew up to be a kid of the street, his mates called him screech, he was quick on his feet
A minorAm Dm7Dm7
He was a liar, a thief at fourteen years old, the devil had set his sights on his soul
Pattern:
A minorAm
As Jenny walked home all alone she felt scared
DmDm
Usually she was alright but it was like there was something in the air
A minorAm Dm7Dm7 N.C.
A augmentedA divine intervention telling her to beware? Or maybe intuition bugging her and making her so scared?
A minorAm
Sirens sound in the distance to the beat of Jenny’s feet
DmDm
A augmentedA symphony of the night that echoes crime on London’s streets
A minorAm
Jenny turns a corner, their eyes they meet
Dm7Dm7 N.C.
Our poor girl Jenny, and a boy named Screech
Strumming:
A minorAm
“Give me all your money bitch! Give it to me!
DmDm
If you co-operate, then you’ll soon be free
A minorAm N.C.
I want your purse, your phone, don’t fucking look at me!
Dm7Dm7 N.C.
I mean it bitch! Are you listening to me ”
Pattern:
A minorAm
Jenny freezes, statue like, a lady shaped stalagmite
DmDm
Fear like liquid nitrogen in the dark night
A minorAm Dm7Dm7
She tried to find strength to move but stayed as still as a statue in high heeled shoes
Strumming:
A minorAm
“What the hell you playing at? You playing games with me?
DmDm N.C.
I swear to fucking god! I’ll slice the rosy off your cheeks
A minorAm
You think I don’t mean it girl? You don’t know me!
Dm7Dm7 N.C.
The last thing you see will be a boy called…”
Pattern:
A minorAm
Screech reached for the sheath of the blade with the teeth
DmDm
That could bite through steal and slice concrete
A minorAm
And he swung possessed, with the devil in his chest
Dm7*
And the statue she was turned to butter in a breath…
strike each chord only once:
A minorAm DmDm N.C.
It was a quiet dark night, on an empty street somewhere in London city
Am7Am7
Jenny lay still on the cold concrete
Dm7Dm7
She’s found somewhere to sleep
Am7Am7
Well, she knew this town, she knew this floor
Dm7Dm7
Because she’d walked it about a thousand times before
E minor 7Em7 FF Am6Am6
I guess that she escaped… it’s such a shame
