[Eb] I
[Bb]
arrived in the city of light Enchanted barrooms, I lost my light
I [Eb] closed my eyes On your fair [Bb] grass line
Seating here on some silver tilt Drinking slums on a sea of hills
I placed my [Eb] bet Trading the streets [Bb] in some silver cash
[Cm] There's the sadness, [Gm] there's the joy [Eb] There's the fleas, [Bb] there's the song
That will [F] never die, [Bb] forever I'm your pure hand, the sun of the earth
Passing ships in the modern dead We're all [Eb] still in fire
Holding watch in [Bb] still burning sight On solid ground on the mother tongue
A tide of hope, a joyful song You take [Eb] your time
I'm at the basics, [Bb] I'm back to life
There's [Cm] the sadness, there's [Gm] the joy There's [Eb] the fleas, there's [Bb] the song
That will never [F] die, another [Cm] night in this [Gm] town
Holds [Eb] me close, holds [Bb] me then The [F] sad night, [Bb] forever
[Eb]
[Bb] Holds [Eb]
[Bb] me close, [Eb]
[Gm] holds
[F] me [Eb]
[Bb] then
I found the song and I started to sing You took me away on an old wind
So far [Eb] from home, starting to leave [Bb] with what's to come
In the death fire of aching crying Love and some best friends are running blind
I grasp [Eb] in hand, this is the only [Bb] word I understand
[Cm] There's the sadness, [Gm] there's the joy [Eb] There's the fleas, [Bb] there's the song
That will [F] never die, [Cm] another night in [Gm] this town
[Eb] Holds me close, [Bb] holds me then The [F] sad night, [Bb] forever
[Gm] And ever, [Eb] and ever
