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# Gm Cm But you just don't know whether you're doing it for the right reasons G Cm Gm It's cold for the season down in the street below

CHORUS
Gm Men and women go about their business Gm Picking up the last few things for Christmas Cm Trying not to step upon the pigeons Cm Praying to the gods of their religions Cm That they might be spared a little longer Cm That they might become a little stronger Dm7 Cm7 F Down in the street below Gm Everybody's on a secret mission Gm Everybody's got their own ambitions Gm They would tell you if they thought you'd listen Cm They would say how lately they've been wishing Cm For the chance to meet a handsome stranger Cm Lead a life of elegance and danger Dm7 Cm7 F Down in the street below Dm7 Cm7 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 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
Well it's always a pleasure and never a chore
But you just don't know whether you're doing it for the right reasons
It's cold for the season down in the street below
