[Verso 1]
D Bm
What became of Daltry Street?
G A
It disappeared beneath our feet
D Bm
And all the folk I used to meet
G A
Are lost, will they be found?
D Bm
They've married moved away from here
G A
Yet still I'm stuck here, year to year
D Bm
And all I touch, I love, I see
G A
As lost will it be found?
[Verso 2]
Bm F#m
I sometimes sit alone and think
G Gm
If I'd done things different yesterday
D Bm
Would I still have to rely on drink
G A
To look at God and pray?
Bm F#m
That for every woman there's a man
G Gm
Who would ask a dad for her right hand
D Bm
And take the ring here in my palm
G A
As he gives his daughter away
[Verso 3]
D Bm
Oh, what became of Daltry Street?
G A
Twitching from the curtains and shuffling feet
D Bm
Of lads and asses on the street
G A
After a night out on the town
D Bm
They've married moved away from here
G A
Yet still I'm stuck here year to year
D Bm
And all I touch, all love I see
G A
Is lost, will it be found?
Solo Bm F#m G Gm
D Bm G A
[Verso 4]
Bm F#m
A lost hope and trust you see
G Gm
But without trust what hope would there be?
D Bm G A
I don't need CVs or degrees to change what's lost to found
Bm F#m
I'll scrub up well, I'll do my hair
G Gm
If I can find a year, then I'll look there
F# Bm
So try to run around everywhere
G A D
'Cause if I don't, I'll always be lost and unfound
Bm G A D
Oh, without love, I'll always be lost and unfound
Bm G A D
Oh, without love, I'll always be lost and unfound
Bm G A D
Oh, without love, I'll always be lost and unfound
