THE DIVINE COMEDY - DOWN IN THE STREETS BELOW (on Band Goes the Knighthood)
Tab from oddos aka zappy the Koala
An amazing song with incredible harmonies. Pure genius. Enjoy!
VERSE:
A# F Press the doorbell and push the door G# A# Climb the darkened stairwell to the second floor Gm C She'll be waiting for you in her dressing-gown Gm C With the drink she poured you when she heard the sound A# F Watch the film, eat the food she cooked G# A# Talk of how the film ain't half as good as the book Gm C Kiss her sleepy eyes closed and say "it's time" Cm F To slip beneath the shadows of the bedroom blinds A# Cm Well it's always a pleasure and never a chore A#/D Eb Cm But you just don't know whether you're doing it for the right reasons G Cm G# Gm It's cold for the season down in the street below

CHORUS
A# Men and women go about their business Cm Picking up the last few things for Christmas F Trying not to step upon the pigeons Gm Praying to the gods of their religions Cm That they might be spared a little longer Gm That they might become a little stronger Dm7 Cm7 F Down in the street below A# Everybody's on a secret mission Cm Everybody's got their own ambitions F They would tell you if they thought you'd listen Gm They would say how lately they've been wishing Cm For the chance to meet a handsome stranger Gm Lead a life of elegance and danger Eb7+ Dm7 Em7 Down in the street below G#7+ Gm7 F4 F Down in the street below
VERSE
A# F Way up high in a phallic tower G# A# You're swimming in a tiny galaxy of stars Gm C Knocking back mojitos at the cocktail bar Gm C Talking 'bout burritos and conceptual art A# F/A Your armchair's round and your glass is square G# A# The clientele's straight out of this month's Vanity Fair Gm C Well look around the place, something's not quite right Cm F Yours is the only face that you don't recognize A# Cm Well it's always a pleasure and never a chore A#/D Eb Cm But you just don't know whether you're doing it for the right reasons G Cm F A# It's cold for the season down in the street below
