Round here Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
My daddy got here on [D]the
gravy train
I guess my mama had a real
bad start to the game
They went walking and
she took his name
Round here
There was dancing in the
afternoons those days
Waiting tables chasing girls
with the money he made
It was 1957 and love felt the same,
love felt [Dm]the same[F]

[Verse 2]
Frightened little [G]girl, [F]she makes a break
Into the [Dm]arm s[G] of, something bet[D]ter

[Verse 3]
Round here
[D]
I hear my mama call in Kingsbury Park
Just me and David and a football
that glowed in the dark
Waiting patiently to make my mark
Round here
And I remember my, my first day at school
And I remember trouble
and thinking I was so cool
I remember it all
(oh, yeah) like yesterday
[Dm]Don't

[Verse 4]
[F]you every time I try[G]
[F]to leave this place
Something [G]inside says,
"You can do better[D]"

[Verse 5]
Yeah, round here
[D]
So [E]come with [Am]me[F]
Let [E]me show you where I've [Am]lived
[F]I want to put[E] my hands
in this earth [Am]again
Mu[F]sic fell like [E]rain to
[Am]the streets
The Spe[F]cials and [E]The Jam, to the beat
[Am]Even though I [F]think I've seen [E]everything
there is to see [Am]of this wo[F]rld[E]
I gotta be [Am]thankful [F]that this crowded space
[E]Is the place of my[Am]
[F]birth? (My birth)[E]
All that I [D]wanted was to be

[Verse 6]
someone (someone)
[D]Two little Hitlers in an old church hall
Some cheesy covers and those neighbors
that banged on the walls
Andy says it's time to show them all
Round here, mm
Please sir, we two have other plans
Please sir, you would not understand
What's going on?
Is magical, can't you see? Yeah
That some of [Dm]us do more than d[F]ream

[Verse 7]
Every time I [G]try [F]to leave this place
Something [G]inside says, "Keep on keeping,
[D]on and on and on and on"

[Verse 8]
Around here
[D]
So [Am]come with me
[F]Let me [E]show you where I've liv[Am]ed
[F]I want to put[E] my hands
in this earth [Am]again
Mu[F]sic fell like [E]rain to
[Am]the streets
The Spe[F]cials and The [E]Jam, A- B- C
[Am]Even though I [F]think I've seen [E]everything
there is to see [Am]of this wo[F]rld[E]
I gotta be [Am]thankful [F]that this crowded [E]space
Is the place of [Am]my b[F]irth?
[E](My[D] birth)

[Verse 9]
My birth in this town
Yes, I guess [E]I got to [Am]be someone,
[F]yea[E]h[Am][F][E]
To be [Am]somebody [F]in [E]the
beautiful city
[Am][F]

[Verse 10]
[E]
(This place I call) this [Am]place I call
[F]my [E]home
(These streets of London) this place
[Am]I call [F]my hom[E]e
(It's everything [Am]I know) everything
[F]and everybody
[E](On the streets of London) I want [Am]to thank you,
[F]tha[E]nk you
I want [D]to thank you, thank you

[Verse 11]
[D]
Daddy got here on the gravy train
Daddy got here on the gravy [D]train
Daddy got here on the gravy train,
[D]ooh
