Mark Knopfler – Metroland (Guitar)

Am       G       C
Yearning we were yearning

F           G        C      F
Green light blinding on the rail

Am      G       C
Burning we were burning

        F      G              Am   G
And the line unwinding to the Holy Grail

       C      F             G       Am
To the future gleaming on a blue horizon

      G      F       C      G
And a golden girl on golden sand

Am       G    C
Dreaming fantasizing

    F      G                C    F    C    F
In another world from Metroland

               Am       G         C
I've danced in rain and I've been Django

    F        G                C       F
And I've got laid I've been a rolling stone

             Am        G         C
I've been Verlaine and I've been Rimbaud

F    G        Am    G
Not afraid to walk alone

    C     F       G        Am
And now I take my midnight ramble

     G       F           C     G
Do I fold or play what's in my hand

          Am        G          C
What's at stake and what's the gamble

F    G             C    F    C    F
Do I stay in Metroland

Am        G        C
Dreams yesterday's laughter

F          G           C       F
Ghosts and lovers come back to play

    Am            G       C
But dreams have a morning after

    F       G            Am       G
And run for cover in the light of day

      C         F          G       Am
I got something real worth holding on to

  G     F           C     G
I can belong to and understand

             Am     G       C
I've made my deal I will go on to

F       G                  C   F
Make my peace with Metroland

           C    F C F C F
With Metroland

      F          G             C   C C C
Metroland, Metroland, in Metroland
