_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
[F] _ [A] Distant echo, far away [Am] voices, [G] far away trains, _ [Am] to take them home to, the ones that they love
and who love [G] them for all.
_ _ [Am]
The [D] grey sturdy [Am] steps, _ repeat my own and [Dm] reflect my [G] thoughts.
_ _ _ [Am] Cold [D] and uninviting, [A] _ partially naked, [G] sat by the [Bm] top of your rappers at a spotty's [C] papers.
Mr [D] Jones got run [G] down, headlines [Bm] of death, this old hotel after [G] my mad name on [D] the rap page.
[G] And I'm down and I just don't settle me night.
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I'm [Dm] all for change, [A] and you pull out the queen, [G] and you smile and be darling.
_ I [Dm] put in the [Am] money, _ and pull out the plumb, [G] behind me.
_ _ [A]
Whispers in the shadows, _ love their new voices, [G]
hating waiting.
_ [A] _ Hey boy, hey son, _ have you got any money?
And I [G] said, I've got a little [Bm] money and a takeaway [C] curry, I'm on the way [D] home to my wife.
[G] She be lying at [Bm] the pottery and knows, [C] she's listening to me, polishing her coffee [D] set, pulling [G] out the coke.
I'm down and I just don't settle me night.
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] I first felt a [Am] fist, and then a kick, I could [G] now smell their blood.
_ _ [Em] [Am] The smell of pubs, and wormwood scrubs, and [G] too many wide winged teens.
_ [A] _
My life swam around me, it [Am] took a look at them, and they saw [G] their existence.
_ _ [A] The smell of brown leather, even in the middle weather.
[G] But my eyes is not a [Bm] mouth, it's not so my senses [C] could see, speak [D] to the level.
[G] I'm down and I [Bm] just don't settle me night.
[C] I [D] _ [G] said I want God, and I just don't [Bm] settle me night.
[C] But _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] I was something [Bm] like a never on a boat, [C] a genius like Michael [D] Bach, like the year, not the [G] head of the dish,
I'm [B] bustling, I buy the white [C] day, a true [D] holiday, a truthful [G] day.
I'm drunk, I got my [Bm] life, I got the paramount [C] oversight, the [D] kings, chill, freak and [G] sweet.
I'm down and I just [B] don't settle me night.
[C] The wine will be [D] flat, time will carry from [G] home.
I'm down and I just [Bm] don't settle me night.
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] And I [B] just don't settle me night.
[C] _ _ [D] _ [G] I'm down and I [Bm] just don't settle me night.
[C] _ _ [D] _ [G] I'm down and I [B] just don't settle me night.
