I
[G] [C] saw a dirty overcoat at the foot of the pillar of the road
[G] Propped inside was an old man who [Am] time could not erode
[C] The night was snapped by sirens, those blue lights circled past
[G] The docile call for an ambulance, the [A] bars all closed up fast
[Am] [C] My silence gazing at the ceiling, [Am] I'm roaming the single room
[G] I thought the old man could help me, [A] if he could explain the blues

[G] The old man stopped, wasn't spoke to me, I'll [A] tell you a thing or two
[C] I missed the [F]
1484, [Em] the night the sun [A] rose at the woods
With my [Dm] father dead, [F] my mother and I, [C] my brothers with the pay [G] up boots
[C] The twenties turned [F] the market, the [Em] hunger strike [A] in my tooth fell
[D] The shot and party [C] in our world, [F] [C] the ladies if you cater them now
The next war began, my ship sailed, [Am] the battle of Larder's written red

[C] How could we know when I was young, [F#] all the [Am] changes that were to come
[G] All the photos in the wallet on the battlefield, now the [A] terror of the [Am] scientific sun
There [C] was masters and servants, servants and dogs, [Bm] they taught [Am] you how to [G] touch [Em] your cat
[G] Screw strikes and famine and war of peace and glam, [A] never closed this [Am] gap
[C] Believe me now, [F] the mood was up, [Em] the more love the [A] tales I tell
