| Old man lying by the side of the road |
| Cm7 | |
| With the | lorries rolling by |
| F | |
| Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load |
| Ab | Gm7 | |
| And the | buildings scrape the | sky |
| Cm | |
| Cold wind rippling down the alley at dawn |
| Cm7 | |
| And the | morning paper fly |
| F | |
| Dead man lying at the side of the road |
| Ab | Gm7 | |
| And the | daylight in his | eyes |
| Gm7 | F7 | |
| Don't let it | bring you down |
| Eb | |
| It's only castles | burning |
| Dm7 | |
| Find someone who's | turning |
| Cm | |
| And you will come a | round |
| Cm | Bb | Cm | Eb | |
| Blind man running through the light of the night |
| With an answer in his hand |
| Come on down to the river of sight and |
| You can really understand |
| Red light flashin' throught he window in the rain |
| Can you hear the sirens moan? |
| White cane lying in the gutter in the lane |
| And your're walking home alone |
| (Play 1st Chorus again) |
| Cm | |
| Don't let it bring you down |
| F | |
| It's only castles | burning just |
| Dm7 | |
| Find someone who's | turning |
| Cm | |
| And you will come a | round |
| Cm | Bb | Cm | Eb | |
| Cm | F | Cm | F | |

Two chords are wrong on the lefty version of this song. The F#m7 should be barre the 2nd fret and A string on 4th fret. The Dbm7 should be barre the 4th fret, D string on 6th fret and B string on 5th fret. There is probably an easier way of expressing this,but I can't read music!
