Verse 1
D 
Night worker, night worker,
G 
D 
doing your rounds
The lights on the office block
A 
burn as you drown
D 
The thoughts of the morning
G 
in humble industry
D 
A 
The gate of your walk
G 
D 
in this moonlight city
G 
D 
Drunk girl, drunk girl, leaving too soon
The parties of tomorrow
A 
will never live up to you
D 
Stilettos in your hand
G 
D 
and  your heart on your sleeve
A 
Go home to the comfort
G 
D 
of midnight and sleep
G 
For the sky is like a blanket
A 
all over the street
D 
G 
And the river is like a ribbon
D 
A 
rolling out to the sea
D 
And the gargoyles they sit
G 
D 
on the steeple and the spire
When it rains they cry
A 
bitter tears
G 
D 
into the gutters
Bm 
Captain, captain,
G 
D 
cold on the ground
There's salt in the air
A 
and your dry, dark belt
D 
You kiss like an angel,
G 
D 
then who would put out?
A 
So you wander the promenade,
G 
singing aloud
D 
G 
The sky is like a blanket,
A 
I'll hover the
D 
G 
And the river's like a ribbon
D 
A 
rolling out to the sea
D 
And nobody loves you,
G 
D 
maybe nobody hears
When it rains it falls
A 
G 
D 
G 
into the gutters like tears
D 
A 
D 
G 
D 
A 
G 
D 
G 
Neptune, Neptune, high on your wall
D 
You survey your kingdom
A 
with its squalor and
D 
With your great marble eyes,
G 
and your sea creature's knee
D 
A 
You love each like your child,
G 
and you hold them dear
D
