[D] [G]
[C] [G] Let
[D] [G]
[C] [G]
[D] [G]
[C] me tell you [G] a story [C] of the passing [D] of love,
[C] the passing [G] of time and [C] the sadness [D] thereof.
[C] And I'll tell you [G] of the passing [C] of a young man's [D] conceit, [C] tell you [G] the story [D] of [G] Lennon Street.
[C] [G]
[D] [G]
[C] [G]
[D] [G]
[C] It was back in the [G] 1980s [C] in some [D] uncuttin' town.
[C] The wall was [G] still standin' [C] and the economy [D] was down.
[C] And one [G] people's poison [C] would be another [D] people's meat.
[C] And the rain was [G] drivin' hard [D] down on [G] Lennon Street.
[C] [G]
[D] [G]
[C] [G]
[D] [G]
I [C] can still see her [G] face, see [C] that dirty [D] red hair,
[C] the scar on [G] her cheek [C] and that [D] faraway stare.
[C] When she said, [G] kind mister, if [C] you're lookin' for [D] a treat, [C]
there's a place I [G] can take you
and that's [D] down on Lennon [G] Street.
[C] [G]
[D] [G]
[C] [G]
[D] [G]
[C] So we stole [G] through a gate and we [C] stole through a [D] door and [C] we stole through [G] somebody's living
room and [C] then up another [D] floor.
Just like [C] a harbinger [G] of danger, a [C] red bulb [D] overhead, [C] left the back of [G] a stranger [D] on a
Lennon [G] Street bed.
[C] [G]
[D] [G]
[C] [G]
[D] [G] She [C] said, please take me [G] with you, [C] come and take me [D] away.
[C] She said, in the [G] end, love [C] will carry [D] the day.
And [C] she whispered [G] sweet nothings, [C] which was no [D] mean feat.
[C] But the noise [G] from the traffic runnin' [D] all night on [G] Lennon Street.
[C] [G]
[D] [G] [C]
[G]
[D] [G]
[C] Now nothing lasts [G] forever,
[C] nothing ever [D] can.
[C] Least of all the [G] sweet nothings [C] that a woman will [D] tell a man.
She [C] could bribe, she could [G] swindle, she [C] could blackmail [D] and cheat.
[C]
My sweet [G] fallen angel
[D] of [G] Lennon Street.
[C] [G]
[D] [G]
[C] [G]
[F#] [G] She [C] could handle [G] a gun and she [C] could handle [D] a knife.
And if [C] I saw [G] her again, boys, [C] I would run for [D] my life.
Let me [C] spare you [G] the details, [C] let's just be [D] discreet.
[C] She's back there [G] once again now [D]
on [G] Lennon Street.
[C]
[G] [D]

[C] [G]
[D] [G]
[C] And then the red star [G] went down [C] and a new morning [D] came.
[G]
[C] And they took down all [G] of the street signs and [C] they changed all [D] the names.
They put a [C] drive in [G] McDonald's, just [C] like a mark of [D] defeat, [G]
on the [C] face of [G] what once used to [D] be [G] Lennon Street.
It [C] [G]
[D] [G]
[C] [Gm] [G]
[D] [G]
[C] was one night in [G] September and I couldn't find [D] any rest.
[C] So I went through [G] the diaries from [C] my dead uncle's [D] chest.
And it [C] was there I found [G] these memories of a [C] love [D] obsolete.
[C] About as far from [G] this world now [D] as old [G] Lennon Street.
[C] But you know changes [G] will come [C] and changes [D] will go.
[G] For worse or for better, [C] oh who am [D] I to know?
But [C] I'm haunted [G] by the vision, both [C] painful [D] and sweet,
[G] Of an underage girl [D] on the pavement of [G] Lennon Street.
