[Intro]
Em Esus Em D Em
Em Esus Em D Em
[Verse 1]
Em
We hit this town last summer
D Em
On the inter-city train
Me and Joe came down together
D Em
Just like we'd always been
G
Well I could play the guitar
D
An Joey had the brains
Em
There was nothing left of Coventry
D Em
But a black and bloody stain
[Verse 2]
Em
We walked up through Victoria
D Em
Named after the Empire's Queen
Signed on down in Westminster
D Em
Found digs in Kensington Lane
G
The first night we went out
D
We both got drunk and made a noise
Em
Ran back across the Vauxhall bridge
D Em
Chased by the Chelsea boys
[Verse 3]
Em
Next day we got up early
D Em
Just before the London rain
Joey had a meeting
D Em
With a man they called John Wayne
G
He offered Joe a job
D
No questions asked, Cash in hand
Em
Putting up an office block
D Em
On an empty patch of land
[Bridge]
G D Em
Tracks like a rainbow heading south
G D Em
Takes me to a place I've dreamed about
[Verse 4]
Em
While Joey screwed the social
D Em
I would practice my guitar
And took a few auditions playing
D Em
'Whiskey in the Jar'
G
Now I'm a one man band
D
And Joey he's my manager
Em
And he tells me one day soon
D Em
He's going to make us into stars
[Verse 5]
Em
So now we're both out working
D Em
On the tourists in the street
And we spend our nights in Soho
D Em
Like two moths drawn to the heat
G
We've got the rhythm of the river
D
And the rushing of the drains
Em
It's like going back to Coventry
D Em
On that inter-city train
[Bridge]
G D Em
Tracks like a rainbow heading south
G D Em
Takes me to a place I've dreamed about
[Outro]
C D Em
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
C D Em
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
