[Verse 1]
I've got a [G]mate who's a shaman
Gets anything you want in [C]no time
A [D]weekend at Bernie's
Is a [C]few days without any [G]sun[D]shine
I know a [G]right dour-faced bastard
A really nice guy, but he [C]hates life
He's got [D]sarcastic eyeballs
And a [C]tongue that can slash
like a [G]lock-knife[D]

[Chorus 1]
These [Em]faces I've known
Growing [C]up on the streets in the [G]Southside
From the [Em]hills of the 'milk
To the [C]parade in the East [G]End
I re[Em]member the change
In the [C]accents on the [G]Westside
Making mon[Em]ey
'til there's [C]no time left to [G]spend
It's all [Em]bullshit but we [C]all
still pre[G]tend[D]

[Verse 2]
When [G]I was a wean
I used to sell puff to make mon[C]ey
But we'd [D]smoke all the profit
And by [C]Friday it was no longer fun[G]ny[D]
I know a [G]guy who's a lightweight
One or two jars and he's buck[C]led
He's the [D]guy that loses keys
has to [C]break into his own house
And gets [G]huckled[D]

[Chorus 2]
These [Em]faces I've known
Growing [C]up on the streets in the [G]Southside
From the [Em]sobs and the schemes
To the [C]art-school dreams of the [G]town
And when [Em]I lie awake in the ni[C]ght time
These things I re[G]member
Some [Em]happy, some sad
Bring a [C]smile to my face when I'm [G]down
In the [Em]Priory or in [C]Sinbad's
in [G]Dunoon

[Bridge 1]
I've been [D]all around the world
But, there's [C]nowhere
compares to my [G]hometown
The [Em]mayhem of Glasgow
is [C]buried deep in my [G]blood
And there's [D]no other place
where a [C]'cunt' might not be a [G]put down
It's [Em]thirteen degrees
and there's [C]folk in the street,
in the [G]scud

[Outro 1]
No' the [Em]best place,
but there's [C]diamonds in the [G]mud
No' the [Em]best place,
but there's [C]diamonds in the [G]mud
No' the [Em]best place,
but there's [C]diamonds[G]
