[Intro 1]
[Em][E][Em][Bm][Em]
[Edim][Em]
[A]

[Verse 1]
[Em]The
panorama of the city is [A]wrong
In [Em]fact the city seems to be [A]gone!
Burning [Em]rubber and smoke in my [A]eyes
[Am]There's a flat[Em] burning junkheap
For [Am]twenty square [A]miles!
They [Em]took it into the nuclear
[Am]mine[A]
[C]Judging [Em]by this,
they left [A]nothing behind
[Em]Down in the bunkers in the
[A]crust of the earth
[Em]Now crouch the wealthy
and the [A]noble of [Am]birth

[Verse 2]
[Em]If I[Am][A][Em][Am]
could a
[Em]ride a train around the city
That [A]holds this as our fate
I'd hide [Em]from electro-
circuit central
[Am]To the shock inducer gate
[Em]Not forgetting the by- pass
[A]Across the Washington hooks
Through the [Em]phones and desks and screens
Of the Kremlin's crook
of [A]crooks

[Verse 3]
[A]There's some [Em]panel
in a circuit [A]board
[Em]Destination of the over[Am]ride
[Em]Scanning the [A]wild wind
[Em]Blowing [Edim]through the Berlin [Em]cor r[Am]idor
Spot[Em]lit in a palace,
shielded from [A]dust
[Am]Malfunc[Em]tion or not, the fail [C]safe is [Am]the crux
[A]So [Em]far away from us,
Shak[A]ing with [Am]the mystery [A]tears
[Em]One lonely night[A] in Ladbroke Grove
[Em]Far away in the deserts of O[A]maha!
They [Em]got it nailed down- Swiss t[Am]ight!
The [Em]bank notes of Europe
The [Am]emperor[A]s and kings
Curl in the autumn as the
burning of leaves
And I've cleaned my black guitar
