[Intro 1]
[Em][F#][Em][F][Em]
[F#]
[Em][F][Em]

[Verse 1]
A city [Em]freeze
Get on your knees
Pray for warmth and green paper.
A city drought

[Verse 2]
You're [Em]down and out
See your [C]trouser[Em]s don't ta[G]per.
Saddle up
[C]Kick your fee[G]t

[Verse 3]
Ride the [F#]range of a [B]London [G]street
Travel [C]to a local [G]plane
Turn around and [F#m]come back
[B]again.
[C#sus4][F#sus4]

[Verse 4]
[B]
And [E]at the chime of the city clock
Put up your road block
Hang on to your crown.
For a stone in a tin can
Is wealth to the city man
Who leaves his armor [Em]down.
[G][Em][C][G][Em][B]

[Verse 5]
[Em]
Stay indoors
Beneath the floors
Talk with neighbors only.
The games you play

[Verse 6]
Make [Em]people [F#]say
[Em]You're eithe[C]r weir[Em]d or lonely.
[G]A city sta[Em]r
[C]Won't shine too [G]far

[Verse 7]
On account [F#]of th[B]e way you ar[G]e
And the bead[Em]s
[C]Around your fac[G]e
Make you sure to [B]fit back in
place.
[C#sus4][F#sus4]

[Verse 8]
[B]
And [E]at the beat of the city [G]drum
See how [Em]your friend[E]s come in twos;
Or threes or more.

[Verse 9]
For the sound of a busy place
[G]Is [Em]fine for a pretty fac[E]e

[Interlude 1]
Who knows what a face is for.
[E][G][C][D][C]
[Em][G][C][D]
[C][Em][F#][F][Em]

[Verse 10]
The city [Em]clown
Will soon fall [E]down
[Am]Without a face to hide [Em]in.
And he will lose
If he won't [F#]choose[Em]

[Verse 11]
The [Am]one he may confide
[Em]in.[E][Em][G]
Sonny [Em]boy
[C]With smokes for [G]sale

[Verse 12]
Went to ground [F#sus4]with
a face [B]so [G]pale
And never [Em]heard
[C]About the cha[G]nge
Showed his hand and fell [B]out
of range.
[C#sus4][F#sus4]

[Verse 13]
[B]
In [E]the light of a city square
Find out the face [Em]that's fair
[E]Keep it [A]by you[E]r side.[Em]
[E]When the light of the city falls
[Em]You fly to the city walls
[E]Take [A]off with your [E]bride.

[Verse 14]
But at [E]the chime of a city clock
Put up your road block
Hang on to [A]your crown.[E]
For a stone in a tin can

[Verse 15]
Is wealth to the city [E]man
Who leaves his ar[Am]mor[Em]

[Outro 1]
down.
