[Intro]
G F Am F G N.C.
[Verse 1]
G F Ooh, this is the city of the dead C G As we lie side by side in bed (ooh) F I'd do somethin' else instead C G But it is the city of the dead (ooh) C G When we went out kickin' around F C You got drunk and fallen down G And I wished I could be like you F E G With the Soho river drinkin' me down
[Verse 2]
G F In the city of the dead C G Fall in love and fall in bed F It wasn't anything you said C G Except I know we both lie dead C G "Don't ya' know where to go?" F C That's what New York Johnny said G You should get to know your town F C G Just like I know mine
[Verse 3]
G F While all the windows stare ahead C G And the streets are filled with dread (ooh) F Every nation in the world C G Slinks through the alley after girls (ooh) C G What we wear is dangerous gear F C It'll get you picked on anywhere G Though we get beat up we don't care F C G At least it livens up the air
[Solo]
G F Am F G N.C.
[Verse 4]
C G But somedays we hide inside F C All courage gone and paralyzed G Sniff that wind of ugly tension F C G Today the jerks have got aggression F C G C I said today the jerks have got aggression
[Bridge]
G Is this the city of the dead? G It is the city of the dead G It is the city of the dead G It is the city of the dead
