Buskers Paradise - The Reytons

Intro: Am F E C Verse: Am F E The devastated early bird's been beaten by the wind C He tried to get the A16, another lesson learned Am F E Now he can't be on the main street catching all the Primark trains C There's a bastard selling phone cases and sheltered from the rain Am F And it's E C all he knows Am F E So now he's lost all choices, left to pitch up near the station C Between the pub that's long shut down and the British Art Foundation Am F E Where pensioners move slowly and protesters bully migrants C With artwork on the shore of the shops depicting violence Am F And C he's all alone Chorus: F And this old town is falling down G C Familiar cars still turn around F Am G C Dm As the people passing by get by with an unsung life. F Cause this old town is falling down G C Copper coins rain to the ground F G C Dm Is it all or nothing walking in the busker's paradise

Verse: Am F E Here comes the Irish Jacket, thumbs tucked tightly in his vest C With community support and words that warrant you respect Am F E While chasing with a notepad he's got data to collect C Am From the man outside the market place discarding cigarette but he's. F E C Talking on the phone Am F E a simple four chord turnaround with a voice that goes unheard C With 4.63 pound inside a black bag by the curb Am F E Intoxicated characters can't help but take a look C There's a woman in a wheelchair with an old rib custard cup Am F E C And she's trying to make it home Chorus: F And this old town is falling down G C Familiar cars still turn around F Am G C Dm As the people passing by get by with an unsung life. F Cause this old town is falling down G C Copper coins rain to the ground F G C Dm Is it all or nothing walking in the busker's paradise [Instrumental] F G C F Am G C Dm Bridge: Am F The sun sets on a quiet street, the pubs now come alive C a trader in the shadows dealing out a bag for life Am F From perfume to detergent, razor blades or melba toast C Or a discount leg of lamb to host the perfect Sunday roast Am F E And as he keeps on playing he's now featured on the spot C By women dressed in L-plates with a veil to tie the knot Am F E And after one rendition they drop 20 and the pot C And straight back into La Brooks where he'll lose the ******* lot Chorus: F And this old town is falling down G C Familiar chords still turn around F Am G C Dm As the people passing by get by with an unsung life. F Cause this old town is falling down G C Copper coins rain to the ground F G C Dm Is it all or nothing walking in the busker's paradise
