Barclay James Harvest – Death Of A City (Guitar)

  D                                C
I look down the street but there's no one there

       G                         D            C
In the cold, in the dark, in the night air

  D                        C      
I call out for life but my heart feels despair

           G                      D
There's no sign of a light in the cold dismal night

    D                         F
The lights have all gone, the clothes are all torn

    G                       D
The people are gone but the victory's won

  D                          C
I call out for life but it's after the day

        G                        D
Now the people are gone just the city alone

D                         C
Eyes look from the second floor

                   G
Down to the street below

                     D     C
Calm now the wind is slow

D                       C
See posters once on the wall

C                      G
Now washed away in the rain

             D
Peeling from buildings tall

     D                           C
I'll follow you friends to where life never ends

         G                     D
Make our mistakes again as our life lines descend

D                         C
Time is like dust and the dust is like snow

      G                       D
As it covers the ruins of the life that you know

D                              C
Trees once green now turned to stone

                       G
Objects that look like ghosts

                D      C
All of them overgrown

D                          C
Mist all sight and mind is blurred

                     G
Lie on your back and cry

                    D
Words uttered never heard

  D                                C
I look down the street but there's no one there

       G                         D           C
In the cold, in the dark, in the night air

  D                        C      
I call out for life but my heart feels despair

           G                      D
There's no sign of a light in the cold dismal night

    D                         F
The lights have all gone, the clothes are all torn

    G                       D
The people are gone but the victory's won

  D                          C
I call out for life but it's after the day

        G                        D
Now the people are gone just the city alone
