Chords for Louis Dunford - London's Requiem (Official Video)

_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _
As I look out upon [F#] my city So bright and [E] so pretty
Under this black [B] London _ sky _ _ _ Young [F#] and lost in this maze of [E] _ concrete [B] and
stone _ Tales of sex, drugs and [F#] romance
And victims of by chance [E] The kids who live and die by [B] the knives _ _ _
_ _ So [F#] many lives lost with so few [E] _ stories [B] are told
_ From the tramps on the pavements [F#] With a ten year engagement
[E] To a needle and a bottle [B] of wine _ _ _ _ _ No [F#] kind words spoken
For to die alone and [E] broken Is the fate [B] of the poor
Guess the drugs are a healer On [F#] every corner a dealer
_ [E] Prescribing his medicine [B] so fine _ _ _ _ But his [F#] patients
Will suffer a [E] fate that no doctor [B] could cure _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ Oh [F#] no, have you [E] heard the [B] news today? _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ They [F#] say London's burning [E] down once [B] again _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ _ [F#] And from the streets you [E] hear the people [B] sing _ _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ From [F#] the streets you hear [E] the London _
_ [B] Requiem
_ As the sirens of the night play [F#] out the London lullaby
[E] The sound that sends a chill [B] down your spine The _ _ _ [F#] sound that echoes through this artificial
[E] ghetto We call [B] London town
_ Cause the armies of the street they [F#] march for victory not defeat
And though [E] their mothers told them never to [B] play with knives _ _
_ _ _ [F#] Another soldier of sixteen, oh, [E] those who fall [B] to the ground
_ But still the sirens carry on long [F#] after his body's dead and gone
[E] And will ring through these streets [B] forevermore He _ _ _ won't [F#] be the only boy to die [E] lonely
On the cold [B] London stone _ Other sisters and brothers
[F#] Other fathers and mothers [E] Who wait for a knock [B] upon their door _ _ _
_ _ Their [F#] poor young soldier of sixteen, [E] oh, older did not make [B] it home _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ _ [F#] Oh no, have you [E] _ heard the [B] news today? _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ They [F#] say London's burning [E] down once [B] again And _
[G#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] from the streets you [E] hear the people [B] sing
And _ from _
[G#m] _ _ _ [F#] the streets you hear the [E] London _
_ [B] Requiem _ _ _
[F#] _ _ But that's [G#m] just the everyday, nothing [E] seems to change
All [B] that we know _ _
[F#] _ _ is [G#m] the bills get paid So [E] we can stay in [B] this shit hole
Oh [G#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] no, have you [E] _ heard the news [B] today? _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ They [F#] say London's burning [E] down once [B] again _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ And [F#] from the streets you [E] hear the people [B] sing
_ And [G#m] _ _ from [C#] the streets you hear the [E] London _
_ [B] Requiem _ _ _
