Verse 1
It's (D major) so quiet in the
ru (G major) ins (D major) walking though the old town (G major) (D major)
Stones crumbling un (G major) der my feet I see
smoke (D major) for miles around (G major) (D major)
Oh it's enough to make (G major) you weep,
(D major) all that remains of the main (G major) street (D major)
Up in the park on Sunday,
(G major) (D major) dogs chasing and the chil (G major) dren played (F major)

(F major) can't see nothing more (A major) around, no

Verse 2
But (G major) he remembers how it used (D major) to be,
(G major) back in the old days,
(D major) So nice to see you coming
(G major) back in this town again
(E minor) It's nice to see a friendly face (C major) come
peeping (G major) through having tea
In (A major) the afternoon, so (D major) nice to see you coming back (G major)

Verse 3
Ah but it's all changed (G major) (D major) winter
turned on a man (G major) (D major)
Came down on day when no-
(G major) one was looking and (D major) it
Stole away the land,
(G major) (D major) people running scared, (G major) losing hands
(D major) Dodging shadows of (G major) falling sand,
(D major) buildings standing like (G major) empty shells (D major)
And nobody...helping no- (G major) one else (F major)
Young child with his (C major) hands high,
(F major) ain't able to see (C major) no reason (A major) why, no (D major)
Verse 4
(G major) But he remembers how it used (D major) to be,
back in the old days, (G major)
(D major) So nice to see you coming (G major)
back in this town again
(E minor) It's nice to see a friendly face (C major)
come peeping (G major) through
You'd better know what (A major)
you're going through now
You came back here to find your
home is (D major) a black horizon
Verse 5
That you (A major) don't recognize,
evil destruction has taken everything (D major)
You'd better walk on the side (A major)
while you're still walking
Just keep on walking on (D major) down
the street keep your dis (A major) tance
From the people you meet.
Verse 6
Oh Lord and you'd better (A major)
watch your eyes
'Cause if smoke (D major) gets in them,
baby (A major) you won't rise (G major) (D major) (G major) again. (E minor) (C major) (G major) (A major) (D major)
(G major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
(G major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
Where's it leading to (G major) (D major)
freedom at what cost (G major)
(D major) People needing more (G major) and more
and it's all (D major) getting lost (G major) (D major)
I want back (G major) , (D major) I want back (G major)
(D major) Back to the time when the
earth (G major) was green
And there was no (D major) high walls
and the sea was (G major) clean (F major)
Don't stop that sun (C major) to shine,
(F major) it's not yours (A major) or mine, no. (D major)
(G major)
