Roddy Frame - "On The Avenue" chords
Start Jamming...
I'm not a fossil.
I'm a diesel shag, [G] man.
I can't show him here.
[D]
[F] Matt, will you join in with Honey, [G] haven't you?
Certainly will, yeah.
[D] [Bm]
[G] [Bm]
[G] [A] [D]
Everybody's walking through the city all alone
And no one talks about it
I am [Bm] just a simple, [F#] unassuming [Bm] kind man
[G] So [A] neither [D] do I
But [Bm] I walk like [F#m] the rest
[Bm] And I try to do my best
Till [G] I'm beaten, [A] till [Bm] I'm blue
And [B] it shines [F#m] like the sun
[G#m] Inside [C] of [B] everyone
[G] Like the neon
[B] that [E] I see
In [Em] the rain, [B] on the [Bm]
avenue
[D]
[Bm] [E] [Bm]
[G] [A]
[D]
[Bm] Everybody's dreaming about a [A] city in the [D]
sky
Where we can live without growth
I am just [Bm] a simple, [Em] [Bm] unassuming kind of guy
[G] So, [B] so do [D] I
But [B] to feed you from [F#m] the shell
To heal you [F#] up and [Bm] wish you well
That's [G] my reason
It's what I [Bm]
do
[D] [Bm] And it shines in [F#m] the guise
[E] Of Egyptian [Bm] sparkling eyes
In [G] the basement [E] of a hotel
[G] Paradise on the [Bm] avenue
[D] [C] But if the hotel [B] burns [Em] down
We'd probably drown
We'd still [C] find those hoses [F#m] Holy Moses
[D] And I would [Bm] still believe that [G] paradise [Bm] was there
But with you [G] turning blue
Stuck [E] like glue
[Em]
[D] On the avenue
[B]
