[Em] [D] [C]
[D]
Street in the city, street in the city on [G] a [D] working day.
Street in the city, street in the city on a working day.
There's a man up on that [G]
ledge, [A] he's only cleaning [D]
windows.
What a shame, who's to blame for the pain we're [G] missing?
Gonna lean back on [D] my wall [C] and pray for him [D] to fall.
[Am]
[D]
[Am] See that man going in the bank with a blue suit?
He's carrying a bag full of very important [D] paper.
There's old Mac [C] trying to bust with his new flute.
Did you read about the Cambridge Rape?

[D] Street in the city, street in the city on a [G] working [D] day.
Street in the city, street in the city on a [G] working [D] day.
[Dm]
Those girls pass every [G] day, [A]
they seem to think I'm [D] funny.
It's just a game that they're playing, till they can claim their personal [G] man.
Gonna lean back on [D] my wall and [Am] pray for a knickers [G] to fall.
[C]
[D] See that woman with a bomb in her head?
[C] Don't she know that ain't still done anywhere?
[D] See that man going in the wig and pen?
[Am] He was charged with telling lies again.
[Em] I see the world go by [A] [Em] as I lean against my wall.
[D] I watch as Fleet Street makes new heroes rise and fall.
[Em] The news is [A] written in the eyes of us all.
One is a sinner, the next is a saint.
Most of us worry about showing up [D] late.
