Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]In[C][G][A][D][C][G][D]
[C]the[G] bi[A]g c[D]ity[C],[D][A]
[D]
where the [G]lights are [D]low
Cold dirty ground,
where the [G]rivers don't [D]flow
Nothing's gonna change
so [G]throw it all [A]away

[Verse 2]
In the [D]big city,
where the [G]kids will come [D]cheap
And monsters prowl and
[G]never [D]sleep
Don't cross the road if you
[G]haven't got the time of [A]day

[Verse 3]
Well, I [G]lost my girl waitin'
for the [D]train from Ride
I [C]know she's out there [G]somewhere
[C]Selling all we [G]got but I [A]don't mind

[Verse 4]
In the big [D]city, you can [G]walk a thin [D]line
And your mother won't know
that you [G]do a bit of [D]crime
Your father's on the dole and he
[G]really hasn't [D]got the [A]time

[Verse 5]
In the big [D]city,
where it's hard to [G]see [D]the sky
Black earth trembles
when the trains go by
Bums on the corner tell you
gently crawl up and [A]die

[Verse 6]
Well, I [G]lost my girl and I
missed my [D]train to Ride
And I'm [C]stuck [G]here sellin' papers
And [C]spittin' on [G]the ground
when you walk [A]by

[Verse 7]
In the big [D]city, you can dance all night
Only if you're clean and the
[G]lads are not up[D]tight
Or you may as well forget it
[G]until the broad day[A]light

[Verse 8]
In the big [D]city,
where the suits don't look [G]you in the [D]eye
Learn how to laugh,
you'll be [G]plannin' when to [D]die
Don't expect favours
when the [G]cars go [D]passing [A]by

[Verse 9]
I [G]lost my girl waitin' for
the [D]train from Ride
Well, I [C]don't mind matching [G]colours
or [C]parkin' people's [G]cars
And [C]telling little [G]lies if that's al[A]right

[Verse 10]
In the big [D]city, [G]in [D]the big city,
[G]in [D]the big cit[G]y[A]
In the big [D]city, in the big city,
[G]in [D]the big city
