[Dbm] I'm on my way to the Salvation [Db] Army, see if I can get [Eb] something to eat.
[Bb] I'm sick and I don't know a soul.
_ _ [Eb] On the street where the [E] Salvation Army is, I'm approached by two guys.
[Ab] What have I in the gear?
[Bb] I'm asked.
[E] [Ebm] What sort of gear?
Skag, smart man.
[E] Nah, no thanks, [Db] it's not my thing.
[Eb] What about crap then?
[Abm] Nah, [Dbm] it's not my thing either.
[Eb] I reply. _
_ [Dbm] Spice?
No.
[Abm] What about a drink [Eb] then, eh?
[Bb] Nah.
[E] I reply.
[Ebm] I'm not drinking at the minute.
[Dbm] Got stuff to sort.
What?
[B] Are you a fucking vicar?
[Dbm] _ Laughing, they make their way onward, [B] leaving me [Dbm] to scrounge a bit of breakfast at the Salvation Army.
_ _ [Abm] _
The following [Ab] day, I'm on my way to another place that provides food for homeless people.
I come across the same two guys.
They see me.
One says to the other,
[N] Watch out, it's the priest.
[C] I stand in a prayer stand.
I look round.
There is no [B] priest.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _
[B] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ [Dbm] _ _
[Eb] _ Alright, priest.
[E] One of the guys says [Eb] to me as I make it to the doorway of the free food place.
[E] They're talking to [Eb] me. _
[Abm] Alright.
[Ebm] [E] I reply.
Well, I make my [Eb] way to the door in full [Ab] realisation [Gb] that I've been on the streets of [E] the city for four [Eb] days
and I'd already [Ab] been tagged.
_ Maybe the [B] street name.
_ Priest.
_ Sleeping rough is a dangerous thing.
_ [Dbm] People spend [B] the nights awake.
Me?
Well, I try [Dbm] not to worry too much [B] about it.
Someone grabs me at night and kills me to death.
[Dbm] Not about you.
[B] Not about a rope coming in.
I just don't want to think [Dbm] about it too much.
[Eb] That comes along to early [E] sleep.
[Ebm] Fucking visitor.
He's there, [Dbm] 25, [Eb] 30 years [Bb] old from Corkbridge.
[B] He's well [N] refreshed.
He's made up his bitch name.
His mistress is cheering him on and he wants to talk.
I want to sleep.
[Bm] _ I'm going to [Eb] be out all night.
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ Watch out, [Gb] _
[Abm] it's the priest.
_ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I can't sleep to this.
_ [Dbm] _ _
[Eb] I've never got no sleep.
_ Watch out, [Abm]
it's the [Eb] priest.
_ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Alright there, pal.
[B] What you doing here?
Trying to sleep.
I miss my train and my pals [Bb] have all fucked off and I've got no work [Ab] kit.
You almost then, she asks.
Yep.
You look out of it, he said.
You kitted up?
No, I'm just very tired and it's after two in the morning.
I had a bit of coke earlier on.
_ _ Oh, for fuck's sake. _ _
He's going to [B] be alone now. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dbm] _ [B] _ _ _ _
Watch out, [E] [Abm] it's the priest. _ _
_ _ [Dbm] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [Ab] _ _
