_ _ _ [C] _ [Cm] Hot soup on the campfire under the bridge.
_ [C] _ _
Shelter lines stretching round the corner. _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] [Eb] Welcome to the new [Bb] world, autumn.

_ _ [Ab] Well the highway is alive at night, _ _ [Bb] but nobody's kidding nobody above the [Cm] red ghost. _
[Bb] I'm sitting down here in the campfire line, _ _ _ _ [Cm] searching for the ghost of Tom Yo.
He _ [C] _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag.
_ _ _ [Eb] Patrol lights up the bed and takes [Bb] a track.
_ Waiting for when the last shall be first [F] and the first shall be [Bb] last.
_ _ [C] In a cardboard box beneath the [Cm] underpass, _ _ [C] you got a one-way ticket to the promised land. _ _ _
You [Eb] got a hole in your belly and a [Bb] gun in your hand.
_ _ _ Sleeping on a pillar of solid rock, _ _ _ [C] _ bathing in the [Gm] city at [Cm] wood.

_ _ [C] _
Wherever somebody's fighting for a place to stand, _
_ _ _ [Eb] or a decent job or a [Bb] helping hand, _ _ _ wherever somebody's struggling to be free, _ _ _ _
_ [C] look in their eyes, [Cm] Mom, you'll [Cm] see me.
_ _ [Ab] Well the highway is alive at night, _ _ _ but [Eb] nobody's kidding nobody about where [Cm] it goes. _ _
