Intro 1
(A major) (E minor) (G major) (E minor) (G major)
Verse 1
(A major) Don't
let's play paint by (E minor) gully
I (G major) look up at the sky (E minor)
And (A major) I see through red eyes (E minor)
The (G major) seagulls wail around (E minor) and around
(A major) Worn out couches and fridges (E minor)
And (G major) mongrel dogs roam (E minor) free
(A major) There are rags and there are (E minor) riches
In (G major) side this head for (E minor) me (G major)
(A major) We drink cheap English cider (E minor)
And (G major) smoke hashish
from North (E minor) Africa (A major)
I've been trying to get the mix (E minor) right,
(G major) but I haven't got it right (E minor)
tonight. (A major) (E minor) (G major) (E minor)
(A major) I've a fifteen year old (E minor) moustache
I'm (G major) so desperate for to (E minor) be a man
(A major) People tell me shave it (E minor) off
If (G major) I shave it I'm a boy (E minor) again
Watch (A major) my father and my (E minor) brother
Fix (G major) in' old cars (D major)
(A major) And their rough oil -stained (E minor) hands
Are (G major) skilled and scarred (E minor)
Oh -oh -o (A major) h -oh -oh -oh -oh -o (E minor) h -oh -oh -oh -oh,
oh (G major) oh (E minor) -oh -oh (A major)
Behind this big rusty shed (E minor) door
(G major) There's a punch bag and a (E minor) claddled car
(A major) As the car sits on breezeblocks (E minor)
The (G major) punchbag takes
some (E minor) heavy shots
Down (A major) the laneway sniffing (E minor) petrol
I (G major) thought pebbledash was snow (E minor)
As (A major) I stumble in a (E minor) blizzard,
(G major) the pain inside me (E minor) disappears
(A major) Across the city, down the (E minor) alleys, (G major)
a thousand kids like (E minor) me
They (A major) are watching through red (E minor) eyes
(G major) A flock of little birds (E minor)
gracefully glid (A major) ing by
Oh, (E minor) oh, oh, (G major) oh... (E minor)
Fought (A major) in the rain
Lost (E minor) in the rain
Swallowed (G major) the shame
Then we (E minor) fought again
Fought (A major) in the rain
Cried (E minor) in the rain
Swallowed (G major) the pain
And we (E minor) fought again
There (A major) in the lane
Knocked my (E minor) cup in the lane
Died (G major) in the lane
Made my (E minor) life again (D major) (B minor) (A major) (D major) (B minor)
(A major)
We (D major) are (B minor) all in the (A major) gutter (F sharp minor)
But (B minor) some of us are
Look (E major) ing at the stars (E minor)
We (D major) are (B minor) all in the (A major) gutter (F sharp minor)
But (B minor) some of us are look
ing (E major) at the stars
(E minor) We (D major) are (B minor) gone in the (A major) good times (F sharp minor)
But (B minor) some of us are
Look (E major) ing at the stars (E minor)
(E major) We (D major) are (B minor) gone in the (A major) glitter
of (F sharp minor) some (B minor) marble sun
Looking (E major) at the stars, (D major) the stars
Oh, the stars, (D major) the stars
