city of the dead Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][F][Am][F][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]This is the city of the [F]dead
[C]As we [G]lie side by side in bed
I'd do something else in[F]stead
[C]But it is [G]the city of the dea[C]d

[Verse 2]
We went [G]out kickin' around
But [F]you got drunk an' [C]fallen down
An' I wished I could [G]be like you
[F]With the Soho River [Em]drinking me [G]down

[Verse 3]
[G]In the city of the [F]dead
[C]Fal[G]l in love an' fall in bed
It wasn't anything you [F]said
[C]Excep[G]t I know we both lie dead

[Verse 4]
[C]Don't you know [G]where to cop
[F]That's what New [C]York Johnny said
You should get to [G]know your town
[F]Just like I [Em]know [G]mine

[Verse 5]
[G]
While all the windows stare [F]ahead
[C]An' t[G]he streets are filled with dread
Every nation in the [F]world
[C]Slinks t[G]hrough the alley after girls

[Verse 6]
[C]What we wear is [G]dangerous gear
It'll [F]get you picked [C]on anywhere
Though we get beat up [G]we don't care
At [F]least it livens up [Em]the [G]air

[Interlude 1]
[G][F][Am][F]
[G]

[Verse 7]
[C]But someday's we [G]hide inside
All [F]courage gone [C]and paralyzed
Sniff that wind of [G]ugly tension
Today [F]the [Em]jerks [G]have
[F]got[Em] aggr[G]ession

[Verse 8]
[G]

[Outro 1]
It is the city of the dead
[G][F]
[Am][F][G]
[F][Am][F][G]
