Street in the City Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][C][D]

[Verse 1]
Street in [D]the city. Street in
the city on a work[G]ing [D]day.
Street in the city. Street in the city
on a working day.
There's a man up on that [G]ledge.
[D]He's onl[A]y cleaning window[D]s.
What a shame, who's to blame,
for the pain with his [G]sin,
Gonna [D]lean back on my wall and pray

[Interlude 1]
for him to fall.
[D][Am][D][Am][D]

[Verse 2]
[D]See that man going in the
bank with a blue suit?
He's carrying a bag [Am]full of [D]very
important papers.
There's old Mac trying to
busk with his new flute.
Did you read about the Cambridge
[Dsus4]raper?
[D][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]
Street in the city. Street in the city
on a work[G]ing [D]day.
Street in the city. Street in
the city on a working day.
Those girls pass every [G]day.
[A]They seem to think I'm [D]funny.
It's just [Bbaug]a game that th[D]ey're playing
till they can claim their personal man.
[G]Gonna [D]lean back on my wall and pray

[Interlude 2]
for her knickers to fall.
[D][C][Am][D][C]

[Verse 4]
[D]See that woman with a
bun in her hair?.
Don't she know that [Am]ain't still
[D]done anywhere?
See that man going in the Wig and Pen?
He was charged [Am]with [D]telling
lies [Asus4]again.
[A]I see the world

[Verse 5]
go by as I lean
against my [Asus4]wall.[A]
I [D]watch as Fleet Street makes new
heroes rise and [A]fall.
The news is written in the eyes of us all.
On is a sinner. One is a saint,

[Interlude 3]
but most of us worry about showing up late.
[D][Ddim][D][A][D][Bbaug][D]

[Verse 6]
I'm gonna [D]lean back on my wall and pray for him to [A]fall.[D][G][D][C][D][Am][D][A][Eb]

Street in the city. Street in
the city on a working day.
Street in the city. Street in the city
on a working day.
There's [D]a man up on that ledge.
He's [A]only cleaning win[D]dows.
What [Bbaug]a shame. Who's
to blame for [D]the pain?
