Then they caught us in the summer

Dressed in fathers finest clothes

You the hat he wore to market

I the jacket filled with holes

Verse 7
G#m
This old dark machine,
it shakes and it shudders
F#
Pulls to the left,
then dies near the gutter

But still in the road,
the traffic is silent
G#m
The people they stare,
and then they turn violent

If they should touch,
the hem of your dress
G#m
I would rise like a lion, strike out again
B
The faithful they wait, the faithful they wait
F#
By the sign
B
Near the

To a kingdom never bound
