Big Black Smoke

Kinks

 EmEm/D#Em/DEm/DbEm/C
 She was sick and tired of country life
 Em
A little country home, a little country home
 BBsus4BBsus4B
Made her blood run cold               
 Am
Now her mother pines her heart away
 GDEm
Looking for her child in the big black smoke
 GDEmEm/D#Em/DEm/Db
In the big black smoke             

Frailest, purest girl the world has seen
According to her ma, according to her pa
And everybody said
That she knew no sin and did no wrong
Till she walked the streets of the big black smoke
Of the big black smoke

BRIDGE:
 B
Well she slept in cafes and coffee bars and bowling alleys
 EmGD
And every penny she had    
 GB
Was spent on purple hearts and cigarettes

Ah, she took all her pretty coloured clothes
Ran away from home, the boy next door
For a boy named Joe
And he took the money for the rent
Tried to drag her down in the big black smoke
In the big black smoke

 GDEm
(In the big black smoke) In the big black smoke
 GDEmDCD
 (In the big black smoke) In the big black smoooooke
 DCDDCDDCDDCDDCD
Smoooooke, smoooooke, smoooooke, ooh, ooh
