MY FATHER WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, TOOK ME UP ONTO THE HILL
F G*
THAT LOOKED DOWN ON THE CITY SMOG ABOVE THE FACTORY SPILL.

AND SO I RAN FROM ALL OF THIS, AND I CLIMBED THE HIGHEST HILL,
F G*
AND I LOOKED DOWN ONTO MY LIFE, ABOVE THE FACTORY SPILL,
D
AND I LOOKED DOWN ONTO MY LIFE AS THE FAMILY DISGRACE,
F G*
THEN ALL MY FRIENDS ON THE STARTING LINE THERE WAGES OFF TO CHASE,

YES, AND ALL MY FRIENDS AND ALL THEIR JONS AND ALL THE BLOODY WASTE.

DIED A DEATH AS THE PUNKS GREW UP

WE'RE RUNNING THROUGH THE HEARTLESS CONCRETE STREETS,
G*
CHASING OUR IDEAS. RUN!

VERSE 4:
D
AND ALL THE PROBLEMS OF THIS WORLD WON'T BE SOLVED MY THIS GUITAR,
F G*
AND THEY WON'T STOP COMING EITHER, BY THE LIFE I'VE HAD SO FAR.
D
AND THE BRIGHT LIGHTS OF MY HOME TOWN WON'T BE GETTING ANY DIMMER,

THOUGH THERE CALLING HAS RECEDED LIKE SOME OLD DISTANT SINGER,
F G*
AND THEY DON'T LOOK SO APPEALING TO THE EYES OF THIS POOR SINNER.

I'M FELLING RATHER SOLEMN AFTER WRITING THAT.. POIGNANT.. THE WORDS MEAN SO

KNOW IF YOU FIND ANYTHING WRONG.. OR RIGHT. NICE ONE..
