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 remember the song where the rats sang along
And danced for their daily bread
While the damp washed the walls that were twenty feet tall
Not a child in the house was fed
On the porter filled face of the men left no trace
Of the coin they had already spent
While our mothers asked God what was Hell ever for
When you lived in a Tenement Square
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
Solo: (play it messily!)

Verse 3:
Now politicians they dwell in that forgotten Hell
Our misery’s been turned into news
Where the fat of the land now hog, hand in hand
A crime now of life was ever true
As the sun split the room with its rays filled with gloom
Turnin’ all hope to despair
And the only thing left was to flee from the nest
That was life in a Tenement Square
