The Clash - Gates of the West [Single] chords
Start Jamming...
[C] I would love to be the lucky one on [Em] Jill Avenue
[A] Keep your heart warm when Ices turn up [G] blue
With Peggy sleeping losers as they turn it for the [Am] night
I'm looking back for all the nights I can't see the [C] light
She kept jumping shouting that I made it all this [B] way
[A] From Canada to our station, I'm stuck holding for [C] the day
[G] I may be making this far, the mainstays were great
[C]
But just like every road down, we can't escape our [Am] fate
He's got you [F] in his style
[G] [C]
He's got you [F] in his style, style, shoe, [G] balls
And they need you [F] something [C] new
So I'm standing at the gates of the west
I [Em] throw money at the lights of the side
And the city [F] got the [G] shadow of the perfect [C]
crime
I'm standing at the gates of the east
[Em] I text my posts and I post to my friends
And the city [F] got the shadow
[G] Will I see you [C]
again?
I see immigrants and remnants of all the glory years
[A] I'm clasping down the bar again for another round of beers
[G] Little dishes in the kitchen, blades, spoons and plates
[C] I'm standing in waitress's [G] grates
[C] Ah, I say I know somewhere, back on Falkenpine
[Am] Out on the South Pole, keeping the movement [G] by
Or in a ghetto cellar, only [Am] yesterday
There's a movement to the future for the [A] USA
We [Am] ain't even [F]
crying
[G] [C] He's got you in [F] his style, style, [G] shoe, balls
And they need you [C] something new
So I'm standing at the gates of the west
[Em] I throw money at the lights of the side
And the [F] city got the shadow [G] of the perfect [C]
crime
I'm standing at the gates of the east
[Em] I text my posts and I post to my friends
[F] And the city got the [G] shadow
Will I see you [C]
again?
[Em]
[E] [F]
[G] [C]
Standing at the gates of the west
[Em]
In [C] the [G] shadow
[C]
Again
I'm standing at the gates of the west
[F] [Em]
[F] In the shadow
[G] [C]
Again
I'm standing at the gates of the west
[Em]
[F] In the [G] shadow
[C]
[Em]
[F] In the [G] shadow
