Intro

Verse 1:
Well I k[Am]issed the d[C]ay, I was [D]on my w[G]ay
From those c[Am]old grey bl[C]ocks of st[E]one
For s[Am]eventeen y[C]ears of squ[D]alor filled t[G]ears
A t[Am]ime now with [C]innoc[G]ence l[Am]ost
As the s[C]un split the room with its r[G]ays filled with gloom
T[Am]urnin? all hope to desp[E7]air
And the [Am]only thing l[C]eft was to f[D]lee from the n[G]est
That was l[Am]ife in a T[C]enem[G]ent Sq[Am]uare
Interlude:

[Am] [C] [G] [Am]
Verse 2:
I rememb[Am]er the song[C] where the[D] rats s[G]ang along
And danced f[Am]or their da[C]ily bread[E]
While[Am] the damp washed the [C]walls that we[D]re twenty fee[G]t tall
Not[Am] a child in t[C]he ho[G]use wa[Am]s fed
On the p[C]orter filled face of the men[G] left no trace
[Am]Of the coin they had al[E7]ready spent
While ou[Am]r mothers as[C]ked God what[D] was Hell ever[G] for
When you l[Am]ived in a [C]Tene[G]ment S[Am]quare
Bridge:
Grab what?s l[G]eft of the coal from the [Am]ole cubbyhole
These c[G]inders need more to be a f[Am]ire
While the gh[G]osts of the soldiers that l[Am]ived there before us
L[C]augh with their g[G]uns by their s[Am]ides
I hear them l[C]augh, with their g[G]uns by their s[Am]ides
Verse 3:
Now poli[Am]ticians the[C]y dwell in[D] that f[G]orgotten Hell
Our misery?s[Am] been turne[C]d into new[E]s
Where[Am] the fat of the l[C]and now ho[D]g, hand in ha[G]nd
A c[Am]rime now of l[C]ife w[G]as eve[Am]r true
[C]As the sun split the room wi[G]th its rays filled with gloom
[Am]Turnin? all hope to des[E7]pair
And the [Am]only thing l[C]eft was to f[D]lee from the n[G]est
That was l[Am]ife in a T[C]enem[G]ent Sq[Am]uare
