Song for Dan Treacy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]He spends his tim[Bm]e
[Em]Or maybe[D] half [Gm]of his time
Or [D]part of the time [A]wandering
'Round [D]the creeks and cobble
[Bm]stones [Em]of hackney lanes

[Verse 2]
[D]With a tear in his eye[F#m]
[Bm]As t[D]he c[Gm]hildren walk by,
he's [Bb]thinking [Bbdim]of a song[Bb]
Then [A]stops [Asus4]to paint [A]a[D]
[Bm]picture of a [Em]frown
Walking [F#m]around[F]

[D]

[Verse 3]
Dan Treacy's s[F#m]mile
[D]Leaves you [Gm]trying to decide who's the [Bb]victim,
what's [A]the crime?
No [D]rest for the mind
That's [Bm]seen it all be[Em]fore

[Verse 4]
[D]And I don't know where he liv[F#m]es
But [Gm]he's a myth of a man
And [Bbdim]Texas Bob[Bb] the [Bbdim]cam eraman
[Bb]Is off t[D]o fi[Asus4]x his se[A]at[Bm]
before the [Em]show

[Verse 5]
Yeah, [F#]but where did he [F#m]go?[F][Em][Cm]
[Gm][F#][F#m][F][Em][Cm][Gm][F#m][A]
To [C#m]know when your t[A]ime's up
[B]You flip the glass and [E]watch the
hours quick[G#m]ening[Bm]
Oh oh oh [A]oh oh

[Verse 6]
In the [C#m]back of t[A]he station
[B]Fluorescent lights [E]about to
quit their [G#m]flickering[Bm]
Well [A]he speaks his mind
He says [F#]"What is crime?"

[Verse 7]
[F#m]Dan Tr[F#dim]eacy's eyes[F#m][D]
In the middle of the [Bm]park
[D]When the under[Gm]ground is dark,
He's a poet [Bb]he's a lark
[A]He sta[D]rts thinking

[Verse 8]
about
[Bm]a place that no [F#m]one kn[Em]ows
[D]And when the creeks run dry[Bm]
[F#m]He stays [D]frozen[Gm] in time
Strange [Bbdim]lights in the sky

[Verse 9]
Start [A]blinking
I can see [Bm]the car outside
but [Em]he's listening
He's [Abm]listening[B][Bm]
And he's [A]making up his mind

[Verse 10]
He [C#m]made his m[A]ind up
To [B]get things done [E]and
[G#m]overcome[Bm][A]
[C#m]He made his min[A]d up
[B]Yeah he's gonna [E]let it go
[Abm][Bm][A][Am]

[Verse 11]
[C#m]He made his min[A]d up
[B]In the park and [E]at the station
[Abm][Bm][A][Am][A]
[C#m]He made his [A]mind up
[B]Yeah, he's gonna [E]get it
done
[G#m][Bm][A]

[Verse 12]
[C#m]He made his min[A]d up
[B]Ooh yeah [E]he's gonna get it done
[G#m]He mad[Bm]e hi[A]s mi[C#m]nd[A]
[B]up[E][G#m][Bm]
[A]Yeah, he's gonna let it go
[B]

[Verse 13]
No matter the [F#m]time
[B]Oh oh
When the creeps [F#m]run by
Oh no
[B]

[Verse 14]
He's making his [C#m]mind u[F#m]p

[B]Oh [C#m]yeah, [F#m]when
the creeks run dry whoa oh
[B]

[Verse 15]
[C#m]Yeah, [F#m]he's gonna
listen to his [B]soul,
[F#m]Yeah, when the creeps walk

Bow to the heart,
